Checklist for Interface development

Question

Hi All,
We have implementation project ,PI 7.1 integration with all modules(SAP HCM,PP,SD,QM,PS,MM,PP,FICO,SRM,ECC,MDM).
We have interface for mostly all modules in SAP PI.
Can you provide few Checklists that we can use for PI 7.1 interfaces during development and testing phases?
Regards,
Ramesh

5     Does the mapping program which is imported from external source has proper documentation?     
6     Has the documentations been checked for erroneous spellings and grammar?     
C.         System Landscape Directory

5     Check if correct naming conventions has been followed for the repository objects          
6     Check if the integartion scenario is designed according to the business specification          
7     Check if the actions are created according to the requirement
