Keeping Track of Interface Status

To keep track of the status of an interface, you must know the following:

1. Name of the interface
2. Points of contact for reporting progress and coordinating schedules
3. Kind of interface and data transferred
   • Kind of connection
   • Nature of the data
   • Reference to ICD or other detailed documentation
4. Nature of the modifications
   • General category (field expansion, windowing, etc.)
   • Details of the algorithm (particularly for windowing)
5. Dates each side plans for completion of modifications
6. Testing dates
7. Testing status

The interface status as understood by each user should be constantly compared with that maintained by all other users, and differences should be resolved as quickly as possible.
