• This site has been designed to be a one stop resource that provides the latest tools or
links required to perform software assurance activities and tasks
• The site is currently available to NASA GSFC only -- with plans to open it up to all
the NASA centers after all of the disciplines (quality, reliability, safety, V&V, and
IV&V) sections are populated
• The majority of the content today resides under the Quality section and pertains to
software quality tools. Any request for new data, general comments, or corrections,
may be sent to Susan Sekira at “Susan.J.Sekira@nasa.gov”
