SSME requirements were identified in NASA approved documents. Design verification specifications (DVS) are used to define requirements and method of verification. Detailed and complete plans provide for verification of each requirement by lab tests, component tests, and engine tests. These tests are planned to expose problems early. The culmination of the development process is engine certification. The certification consists of two certification cycles on each of two engines. The certification cycle is made up of 10 tests and 5000 seconds.
