Level of Test Model User's Guide,

Abstract

The model selects the lowest cost combination of test equipment configurations and test periods which will result in the desired probability that the item tested will operate properly when used. It is particularly applicable to items, such as missiles, which can not be tried to see if they work. The model will be most useful when used early in a program so that it can influence test equipment design. Nevertheless, if the test equipment has already been purchased, the model can be used to determine the least costly test periods. The model can be used to evaluate the advantages of one location of a particular test echelon over another. For example, the model can be used to decide which is the best economic choice, shipboard test or test at a weapons station.
