Mainframe & System 36 SDLC

Mainframe & System 36 SDLC

 

 
FSA NITC Mainframe SDLC

 
The FSA NITC Mainframe SDLC defines the standards and procedures for developing mainframe computer systems. This new standard replaces the former FSA Handbook 14-ADM, ADP Standards and Procedures for Development of Computer Systems. 14-ADM is now obsolete.

 
On June 22, 2006, the release of the FSA NITC Mainframe SDLC was formally announced by Steven L. Sanders, FSA Chief Information Officer. The complete announcement can be viewed here: FSA NITC Mainframe SDLC Formal Release.

 
This document has been issued to update the Information Technology Services Division (ITSD) standards and procedures for developing mainframe computer systems. This document prescribes standards for:

 
  • analysis
  • design
  • programming
  • testing
  • operations
  • documentation
  • management accountability
  • control
  • security

 
These provisions apply to all automated mainframe information systems.

 
System 36 SDLC

 
The System 36 SDLC consists of the standards used by ITSD in defining the requirements for user interface with a SCOAP (State and County Office Automation Project) application. It includes analysis, design, programming, testing, and security standards for SCOAP automated systems development. Refer to the SCOAP Application Development Standards 29-ADM for more information.

 
For more information about the System 36 SDLC, see the Technical Information Advisories page.
