Feature of Software
Standard software shall be applied as a product of LCE in order to minimize JGC's acceptance check.
Also, JGC's JOB instruction can be given modifying software.
To discuss about the requirement to our standard software, an example is prepared.
Although almost same functions are provided in the software produced before, the following features in the example should be considered:
(1) Proven VBA Functions are adopted (Common technical base).

(2) All calculation steps are clearly indicated so as to check by hand calculation (Traceability).
(3) Calculation record shall be understandable even after the project (Liable information beyond the time and the location).
(4) Standard reference data is available in the same software.
Furthermore, the following shall be considered.
(1) Reference of the calculation method shall be clear and reliable. Release note shall be prepared separately.
(2) Complete verification shall be done. When the software is released, debug data shall be opened.
(3) Revision history shall be shown on the software.
(4) Instruction on how to use the software shall be stated on the software.
(5) Technical support shall be provided in JGC group.
