IV&V Program Overview NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Program Fairmont, West Virginia Gregory Blaney, IV&V Program Director www. nasa. gov/centers/ivv

Origins of IV&V within NASA • NASA's IV&V Program: established in 1993 • Founded under the NASA Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA) as a direct result of recommendations made by the National Research Council (NRC) and the Report of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident. 2

History of NASA’s IV&V Program 1991 - Grant to WVU to build IV&V Facility. Program assigned to HQ-OSMA 1994 - Space Station Program Implements IV&V through NASA’s IV&V Program 1996 - Program assigned to AMES Research Center Focus = Research 1996 - Facility Omnibus contract: Enabled IV&V across all NASA Projects 1999 - Senior Management Council: IV&V mandate for all NASA software 2000 – Program transitioned to Goddard Space Flight Center Focus = Applied 2003 - IV&V Funding changed to Corporate G&A 2003 – IV&V Program is functionally assigned to OSMA 2004 - IV&V Board of Advisors formed 2009 - IV&V added to NPR 7150. 2 A 2010 - Program reorganization to current org structure 2011 - Instantiation of JSTAR & Independent Test Capability 2012 - ISC Contract award – Single IV&V Service provider 2012 - IV&V Completed 22+ years of Space Shuttle IV&V 2012 - GO-SIM Software of the Year - Honorable Mention 2012 - ECTP Work began 2013 - Work with Commercial Crew partners began 2015 - Vulnerability Assessment Program (VAP) established 2015 - Released Secure Coding Portal (SCP) for the Agency 2016 - IV&V accredited as a Fed.
