This modernization includes hardware platform change as well as ladder logic changes. This paper provides the lesson learned from the design support and the verification and validation (V&V) for control logic software in accordance with IEEE 1012[1], which describes the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phase activities for independent verification and validation (V&V). As usually it is necessary to interpret standards by upward and/or downward tailoring, i.e. interpretation, based on the SIL level and application function for practical independent V&V. It has been conducted to list up the inspection viewpoints for software itself as well as architectural design including the hardware interfaces. For successful independent V&V of FWPT, the specific viewpoints and approach are employed according to the functional characteristics and code optimization. The V&V for this project reviews only the requirement, design, implementation, and test phase. This article also provides the difficulty experienced during independent V&V including the design support, and concludes by addressing a couple of lessons learned for FWPT V&V.}, number={6}, journal={Transactions on Engineering and Computing Sciences}, author={Sohn, Kwangyoung and Lee, Jayoung and Cho, Changhwan}, year={2015}, month={Jan.}, pages={25} }
