Verification measures are specified for software integration verification of the integrated software elements based on the software architecture and detailed design, including the interfaces of, and interactions between, the software components. Verification measures for software components are specified to provide evidence for compliance of the software components with the software components’ behavior and interfaces. Software elements are integrated up to a complete integrated software. Verification measures are selected according to the release scope considering criteria, including criteria for regression verification. Software components are verified using the selected verification measures, and the results of the integration verification are recorded. Integrated software elements are verified using the selected verification measures, and the results of the integration verification are recorded. Consistency and bidirectional traceability are established between verification measures and the software architecture and detailed design; and bidirectional traceability is established between verification results and verification measures. The results of software component verification and software elements integration verification are summarized and communicated to all affected parties
