The company I work for does utilize a Design Specification document as Dr. Simon had described in this week’s lecture. It includes a design matrix that traces the entire process of the design. It is a living documents therefore it can be updated as time progresses. Within each line of the DID there is at lease one line within the DSD. Each DSD line gets a verification, if a verification is not needed then a rationale is needed to justify it. It also includes the risk management documents to reference ways to mitigate the risk. For an undergraduate course offered by NJIT I had to type up a DSD with my team for a senior design project. The document had to be detailed but had to be understood by someone who never heard about my team’s project. It took many revisions to be considered an adequate document.
