Local Automation Model Software Benchmarking: Test Plan,
Abstract
Sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center, the Local Automation Model project encompasses requirements determination, system design, prototype system implementation, and production system acquisition for a fully resident integrated library system. The system is designed and will be made available for installation at Federal technical libraries and information centers. With the system, libraries will be able to share cataloging of technical reports with DTIC, relying on machine-aided translation of citations and an intelligent gateway to facilitate data transfer. The intelligent gateway also permits simultaneous searching of multiple, heterogeneous data bases, both Government-operated and commercial. In addition, the system supports full local collection management -- retrieval, cataloging, and circulation management and control. The prototype and poduction systems will be implemented with commercially available library automation software. The Test Plan is the fifth in a series of life-cycle documentation for the system. It contains criteria -- both performance and functional -- for selecting from among several packages recommended for benchmarking. Using the Test Plan, test participants will exercise features in each of the six packages selected for benchmarking and score the package on how well each feature is performed.
