Description
The Data Processing Unit (DPU) is the scientific core of the EUCLID NISP instrument where data
processing is, for the first time on this type of instrument, performed in flight. The SQA process
for its ASW (Application Software) is described here: the standards, the quality targets, and the
tools used during the software lifecycle. A possible evolution of this framework using exclusively
open-source tools is under scrutiny and is also described. Lastly, as ESO/ELT instruments are
reaching complexities comparable to space-based instruments and ESO itself is keen to apply ECSS
standards, we describe how SQA for ESO/ELT instruments is going to profit from NISP DPU ASW
experience.
