Requirements traceability can be evaluated by examining whether requirements remain connected to their sources, lower-level requirements, system elements, design or implementation artifacts, verification evidence, and approved changes. An expert may review requirements databases, traceability matrices, specifications, configuration records, change histories, and test results to identify missing, incomplete, or inconsistent links. Bidirectional traceability can help show both whether higher-level requirements were carried into lower-level development and whether lower-level requirements or design features have a documented basis.
A systems engineering expert witness generally focuses on the technical definition, integration, and verification of an engineered system, including requirements, architecture, interfaces, configuration, verification, and validation. A project management expert witness may focus more broadly on project scope, schedules, resources, coordination, deliverables, and management performance. The appropriate expertise depends on whether the disputed issue primarily concerns the technical development and integration of the system or how the project was planned and managed.
Yes. A systems engineering expert can evaluate whether connected subsystems had compatible physical, electrical, software, data, timing, communication, or functional interface requirements and whether those interfaces were properly defined, controlled, integrated, and verified. Relevant evidence may include interface control documents, requirements records, architecture documentation, configuration histories, integration-test results, and operational data. This analysis can help determine whether an interface incompatibility or integration problem contributed to the reported failure even when the individual subsystems functioned as intended in isolation.
Verification determines whether a system, subsystem, or component satisfies its specified requirements. Validation determines whether the completed system fulfills its intended use and meets stakeholder needs in the relevant operational context. In a dispute, distinguishing the two can help show whether the available testing or evidence addressed compliance with stated requirements, suitability for intended use, or both.
