Statement

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to verify that the scope of testing and evaluation provides complete coverage of the required controls at the following level of rigor: {{ insert: param, sa-11.7_prm_1 }}.

Guidance

Verifying that testing and evaluation provides complete coverage of required controls can be accomplished by a variety of analytic techniques ranging from informal to formal. Each of these techniques provides an increasing level of assurance that corresponds to the degree of formality of the analysis. Rigorously demonstrating control coverage at the highest levels of assurance can be achieved using formal modeling and analysis techniques, including correlation between control implementation and corresponding test cases.

Assessment Objective: the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to verify that the scope of testing and evaluation provides complete coverage of the required controls at {{ insert: param, sa-11.07_odp.01 }};

Assessment Objective: the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to verify that the scope of testing and evaluation provides complete coverage of the required controls at {{ insert: param, sa-11.07_odp.02 }}.
