Abstract
This thesis critically reviews the Navy' s embedded tactical software development methodology as defined in DOD-STD-1679A (Navy). The emphasis of the thesis is on the documentation produced as a result of following that methodology. Both the development methodology, and the documentation produced are compared to management and content recommendations provided by the National Bureau of Standards and academic/commercial publications. The conclusion reached is that DOD-STD-1679A (Navy) is adequate for its purpose. However problems in documentation develop as a result of management's misinterpretation of the phased life-cycle development methodology described in DOD-STD-1679A (Navy) and the importance of a continuous documentation effort.
