Software Test and Evaluation Manual. Volume 1. Guidelines for the Treatment of Software in Test and Evaluation Master Plans.

Abstract

The Software Test and Evaluation Manual provides guidance to DoD components in the area of software test and evaluation for defense system acquisition. It was prepared by the Software Test and Evaluation Project (STEP) in response to tasking by the Director Defense Test and Evaluation (OSD/USDR&E). Volume I is intended to support the review of Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPs) for systems that contain mission critical software components, are software intensive, or present software testing issues that significantly affect risk. It consists of a checklist or series of questions that are keyed to the major paragraphs of a TEMP, and an accompanying set of explanatory notes that are brief commentaries on the questions and the significance of the possible responses to them. The primary audience for this manual consists of those individuals who are responsible for evaluating TEMPs. However, it should also prove useful to program offices, independent test organizations, contractors, and others who review, prepare, or provide data for inclusion in TEMPs.
