Data Management IV&V Applicable Review Area Task Description Task # (X) Evaluate the agency’s existing and proposed procedures DC-1 and software for data conversion. Verify that procedures are in and are being followed to DC-2 review the converted data for completeness and accuracy and to perform data cleanup as required. Determine conversion rates and if the error rates are DC-3 manageable. Make recommendations on making the conversion process DC-4 more efficient and on maintaining the integrity of data during the conversion. Evaluate new and existing database designs to determine if they DBD-1 meet existing and proposed system requirements. Recommend improvements to existing designs to improve data DBD-2 integrity and system performance. Database Evaluate the design for maintainability, scalability, concurrence, Design normalization appropriate) and any other factors affecting DBD-3 performance and data integrity. Evaluate the project’s process for administering the database, DBD-4 including backup, recovery, performance analysis and control of data item creation. Operating Environment IV&V Applicable Review Area Task Description Task # (X) Evaluate new and existing system hardware configurations to SH-1 determine if their performance is adequate to meet existing and proposed system requirements. Determine if hardware is compatible with the agency’s existing processing environment, if it is maintainable, and if it is easily upgradeable. This evaluation should include, but is not limited SH-2 to CPUs and other processors, memory, network connections and bandwidth, communication controllers, telecommunications systems (LAN/WAN), terminals, printers and storage devices. Evaluate current and projected vendor support of the hardware, SH-3 as well as the agency’s hardware configuration management plans and procedures. Evaluate new and existing system software to determine if its SS-1 capabilities are adequate to meet existing and proposed system requirements. Determine if the software is compatible with the agency’s System existing hardware and software environment, if it is Software maintainable, and if it is easily upgradeable. This evaluation SS-2 should include, but is not limited to, operating systems, middleware, and network software including communications, file-sharing protocols, etc.
