ASTM D 6171 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Documenting a Ground-Water Modeling Code
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 10, 1997
Scope:
This guide covers suggested components of the documentation of a
ground-water modeling code.
Documentation of a ground-water modeling code consists of textual and
graphical information
recorded during its design, development, and maintenance regarding its
capabilities, development
history, theoretical foundation, operation, and verification. It is
the principal instrument for
those involved in its development and use, such as code development
and maintenance staff, network
managers, code users, and project managers, to communicate regarding
all aspects of the software.
This guide presents the major steps in preparing the documentation of
a ground-water modeling code.
It discusses the various documentation audiences and addresses the
role of printed documentation
versus documentation in electronic form.
This guide is one of a series of guides on ground-water modeling codes
and their applications, such
as Guides D 5447, D 5490, D 5609, D 5610, D 5611, and D 5718.
This guide is not intended to be all inclusive. If offers a series of
options and considerations,
but does not specify a course of action. Documenting certain codes may
require supplemental
information or replacement of documentation sections by more
appropriate elements. This guide
should not be used as a sole criterion or basis of comparison, and
does not replace or relieve
professional judgement in preparing or evaluating documentation of
ground-water modeling software.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to its use.
This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series
of options and does not
recommend a specific course of action. This guide cannot replace
education or experience and should
be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of
this guide may be applicable
in all circumstances. This guide is not intended to represent or
replace the standard of care by
which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor
should this guide be applied
without consideration of a project's many unique aspects. The word
"Standard" in the title of this
document means only that the document has been approved through the
ASTM consensus process.
