Interface Design Description Extraction Tool (IDDET): A Game - Changer in Interface Documentation

1. Introduction

In the THAAD radar program, ensuring consistency between interface documentation and actual software interfaces is crucial. Past programs often faced problems due to inconsistent interface documentation, which could lead to issues during the integration phase. The Department of Defense mandates that interfaces be documented in an Interface Design Description (IDD) document with specific content. To address these challenges, the Interface Design Description Extraction Tool (IDDET) was developed.

2. Theoretical Foundation

The IDDET is based on the Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS). ASIS enables tools to navigate the comp
