DEFENSE COMPUTERS: Management Controls Are Critical to Effective Year 2000 Testing

Abstract

DODs end-to-end test and evaluation plans that were available at the time of our review recognize relationships and dependencies among various end-to-end test and evaluation activities. For example, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) operational evaluation plans3 linked the various service and Defense agency information systems to its mission-critical warfighting tasks and operational evaluation scenarios. Similarly, the Army systems integration test plan specified five phases of integration testing activities, one of which was end-to-end testing by the functional areas and another of which was operational evaluations by the combatant commands.
