The Implementation of Testability into Military Equipment. Volume 1.

Abstract

A plan for the development and modification of military standards, specifications, and handbooks for the purpose of making the design discipline of testability a reality in equipment procurements and designs has been developed. This plan is based on an analysis of existing related documents and a 'systems approach' to the problem of management and control of this design area via the specification process. The overall problem was segmented into six functional areas for solution which is presented in the form of specific recommendations for each area. It is intended that the plan be used as the foundation for a program to develop the documents needed to make testability happen in military equipment. This plan could also serve as a model for similar efforts in other design areas. This technical document is provided in two volumes. Volume 1 presents the description of the problem, work accomplished, and results. The results are presented as general recommendations for creation, modification, or deletion of specific military documents. Volume 2 contains supporting appendices that provide more detailed recommendations for modification of some existing documents as well as supporting analytic material. (Author)
