The templates present on this site deserve a refresh. We end the 2024 updates with version of the Software Configuration Management Plan and Usability Engineering File.

Hi there! Long time no see once again. I dig up our series of posts on cybersecurity.
In this post I publish two new templates for cybersecurity risk management.

European Regulation 2016/679, aka GDPR, will be fully in force in May 2018. Everybody knowns that we have something to do to be compliant since it has been published. And everybody is getting awake only two months before the full application. So do I.

Risk matrixes are a useful way to show graphically the ranges in which risks are acceptable, tolerable and unacceptable. Here is an excel sheet that automates the computation of ranges.

I've already posted a long list of templates on this blog. You can find them on the templates repository page.
There are templates for big projects, with one or more templates for every phase of a software development project. And there is the all-in-one template for very simple projects. This list lacks templates for simple projects that deserve more than a single document.
Here are the three templates:
The advantage of this list is to have multiple specification conception and tests phases. The management template is filled at the beginning of the project. The Specification and Conception template is filled and updated each time these artifacts change. And the tests template is filled during each tests phase. They fit simple to middle size projects:
They don't contain the risk management data. They shall remain in the dedicated templates: Risk management plan and risk analysis report.
More templates on my templates repository page.

All templates I have written are listed in my templates repository page. I already explained in that page and some other articles how to use them with waterfall development process.
But their use is not obvious with agile methods. Here are a few explanations.

Template!
Here is a new template: the all-in-one template for software development process.
It is made for simple software development project where everything can be put in only one document. Especially, there is room for only one verification phase in the template. this is a deliberate situation. If you plan to have more than a single phase of verification, you should use other templates (link on template repository page below at the end of this post).
It contains simple and reduced parts of:
It doesn't contain the risk management data. They shall remain in the dedicated templates: Risk management plan and Risk analysis report.

Perhaps some of you who download my templates wonder how I managed to write them or where they come from.
This is a long story. Once upon a time in 1940’s, Bell Labs scientists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Schockley invented the transistor.
Well, huh, not so long!

Hello,
Back on my blog after a few days off. I wrote in my post about classes of software that I would release a template on user guide. Here it is!

After the Risk Managment Plan template, here is the Usability Specification Document.
The Usability Specification Document is your companion during the phases where you define the graphical user interface and ergonomics of your software.

At last, here is the Risk Management Plan Template.
The risk management plan was missing in my list of templates. Error repaired! It is tailor made for software medical devices. So you'll find some stuff specific to software, with references to IEC/TR 80002-1 and IEC 62304.

Here are the Software Development Plan Template and the Software Configuration Management Plan Template
These templates are technical ones. But they are closely linked to project management hence they contain sections about reponsibilities.

In Software-Requirements-Specifications, I put everything you need to deal with technical requirements of your software.
In Software-Detailed-Design, I put everything about the design description of packages and component inside software, their interfaces and their workflows.
In System Architecture Description, I put everything about the description of the whole architecture of system and software.
In Software Test Plan, Software Test Description and Software Test Report I gathered all information about the organization of tests, the traceability with SRS requirements, the description and results of tests.
The Version Description Document is about the description of a delivery of software and hardware. If contains the mandatory information to identify a software version, its dependencies and how it is generated.
This template is the last of my first series of templates. You have all you need to document a software development project of middle importance for a medical device.
However the Project Management Plan template is made for simple projects. For a project with more complexity, you need to pay more attention to software configuration and software development.
The next two templates will be the software configuration management plan
and the software development plan. They will contain more information on these
subjects than what you find in the project management plan.
Later on, I will add a risk management plan to the templates. Then, the series
of management templates will be complete.
Stay tuned, my list of templates is growing fast!
I gather all my templates on the templates page. You'll find them all there.

In System Architecture Description, I put everything about the description of the whole architecture of system and software.
Now that we have enough templates to describe our software, let's see how to test it. How one can release software without thourougly testing it? Nobody, I think. This is the purpose of these 3 software tests templates.
Note: Test = Verification, I could have called those documents
The next one will be about delivery. Stay tuned, my list of templates is growing fast!

The template about software architecture was missing. Here is the System Architecture Description document! It contains entries compliant with IEC 62304 and section 14 of IEC 60601-1. It should be used to describe the architecture of hardware and software.
The next one will be about software tests. Stay tuned, my list of templates is growing fast!
