Overview
During the
development of a weapon system a large number of tests are conducted by subcontractors,
the price contractor, and the government. To assure that these tests are properly
time phased, that adequate resources (e.g., test articles, test facilities,
funding, manpower) are available, and that duplicative or redundant testing
is eliminated, a properly integrated test program is required. Previous efforts
at test program integration have resulted in top level documents which did
not adequately address the entire test program. Such efforts have not produced
viable management documents which actually control the total test program.
