3.3 Project Characteristics

3.3.6 Off-the-Shelf Products

Question

Are the evaluation and use of off-the-shelf products intended if reasonable and possible?

Description

If the use of off-the-shelf products is intended, measures must be taken at an early system development stage in order to determine system elements which could be candidates for off-the-shelf products. In addition, the appropriate commercial off-the-shelf solutions must be determined and evaluated. The use of finished components is particularly reasonable if a project includes components for which there are already numerous off-the-shelf solutions.
