The system test state (COSE Lesson 53)

This module covers test and evaluation of the system as a whole as well as the prerequisites for successful subsystem testing that must be performed in the earlier (upschedule) states of the SDP

Contents

  1. The role of systems engineers in the System Test State of the SDP
  2. The nature of the problems faced in the state
  3. The tools, methodologies and techniques available to solve those problems
  4. An awareness of the difference between test and evaluation, the need to build testing into both the system (product) and SDP (process)
  5. The concepts behind
    • Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E)
    • Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E)
    • Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)
