(U)Automated Test and Analysis

Abstract

Prior to FY2016, the Navy developed a capability called Automated Test and Retest (ATRT). ATRT supported reproducible and quantitative testing and analysis of Naval Ship Combat Systems Integration, AEGIS Combat System Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 12, Antisubmarine Warfare Integrated Common Processor/Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off The Shelf Insertion (ARCI), and Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Module development. Funding also supported expansion of ATRT to other NAVSEA-affiliated programs. The success of ATRT in reducing the time to complete critical testing, improve and speed test analysis, find and correct critical design flaws has led to an expansion of the capability to a Naval enterprise wide effort, not just a Navy Ship effort. In FY2016, ATRT was expanded to include the entire Naval enterprise and renamed Automated Test and Analysis (ATA). ATA expands the automated test methods currently in use such as Automated Test and Re-Test, adds new methods of testing and use of automated test technologies, and standardizes automated test practices, methods and tools. In addition, funding supports the development of enterprise level strategies to apply ATA technology to the software-intensive acquisition programs. The FY2015 ATRT project was funded on Program Element 0603597N under Project Unit 9B88: "Automated Test and Re-Test". Starting in FY16 and through the out-years, the project is renamed "Automated Test and Analysis" on Program Element 0603597N under Project Unit 9B88.
