The updated item is said to be Form/Fit/Function and interface compatible when it can be inserted into the existing system without impacting system operation. (Created for SEBoK)
(2) A mechanism to link design to performance requirements; i.e., replacing an item/system based on form, fit, function and interface characteristics. (DoD 2004)
