This paper describes the evolution of the processes, methodologies and tools developed and utilized on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project that provide a complete end-to-end environment for verification planning, execution, and reporting. LSST utilizes No Magic’s MagicDraw Cameo Systems Modeler tool as the core tool for systems modeling, a Jira-based test case/test procedure/test plan tool called Test Management for Jira for verification execution, and Intercax’s Syndeia tool for bi-directional synchronization of data between Cameo Systems Modeler and Jira. Several additional supporting tools and services are also described to round out a complete solution. The paper describes the project’s needs, overall software platform architecture, and customizations developed to provide the end to- end solution.
