Test Program Set (TPS) Design Guide for Planning and Specification of TPS's and Engineering Preparation and Assessment of TPS's.

Abstract

The Test Program Set (TPS) Design Guide provides guidelines and requirements in two major problem areas. It is a planning and specification guide for the competitive procurement of application test program sets for Units Under Test (UTT's) and it also is an engineering guide that provides design and evaluation criteria to ensure acquisition of complete and uniform TPS's. Topics covered in the design guide include support concepts, data collection, levels of repair, automatic test design considerations, test program set design, interface device design, code and compile, integration, design reviews, and acceptance testing. Discussed are Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) hardware and software design considerations such as ATE standardization, ATE expandability, and ATE availability which impact total operational life cycle costs. Also covered are required configuration management techniques of identification, control and accounting of test programs. (Author)
