<h2><a name="7">7.</a> SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT</h2>
<p>
Software development team is responsible
for the security of the code.
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.1"> 7.1. </a> Authority </h3>
<p>
The source code is under CCS.
Additions to the team are approved by Board
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.2"> 7.2. </a> Tasks </h3>
<p>
The primary tasks are:
</p>
<ol><li>
Keep the code secure,
</li><li>
Fix security bugs, including incidents,
</li><li>
Audit, Verify and sign-off proposed patches,
</li><li>
Assist Systems Administration team in inserting patches,
</li><li>
Provide guidance for architecture,
</li></ol>
<p>
Software Development is not primarily tasked to write the code.
In principle, anyone can submit code changes for approval.
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.3"> 7.3. </a> Repository </h3>
<p>
The application code and patches are maintained in a
central version control system by the
software development team.
</p>
<p>
The integrity of the central version control system
is crucial for the integrity of the applications running
on the critical systems.
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.4"> 7.4. </a> Review </h3>
<p>
Patches are signed off by the team leader
or his designated reviewer.
Each software change should be reviewed
by a person other than the author.
Author and sign-off must be logged.
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.5"> 7.5. </a> Test and Bugs </h3>
<p>
Software Development team maintains a test system.
Each patch should be built and tested.
Test status of each patch must be logged.
</p>
<p>
Software Development team maintains a bug system.
Primary communications should go through this system.
Access should be granted to all software developers,
systems administrators, and patch contributors.
Access may be granted to other Members.
</p>
<h3> <a name="7.6"> 7.6. </a> Handover </h3>
<p>
Once signed off, software development (team leader)
coordinates with systems administration (team leader)
to offer the patch.
Software development people are not to have access
to the critical systems, providing a dual control
at the teams level.
</p>
<p>
If compilation and/or other processing of the
application source code in the version control system
is necessary to deploy the application,
detailed installation instructions should also be
maintained in the version control system and offered to the
system administrators.
</p>
<p>
Systems administrators copy the patches securely
from the repository onto the critical machine.
See &sect;3.3.
