Software Test and Evaluation Manual. Volume 3. Good Examples of Software Testing in the Department of Defense

Abstract

This report contains the results of a study conducted by the Software Test and Evaluation Project (STEP) to locate and document good examples of software testing of major systems developed by the Department of Defense. Three systems were chosen for this study: one from the Navy, one from the Air Force, and one from the Army. The systems selected were recommended by organizations within their respective Services. Data on each system was obtained by conducting interviews with the Service Program Office personnel and the Prime Contractor's Program Office personnel (including, if they existed, software managers and software test managers), and reviewing available program documentation. When examples of good software testing were located, documentation was sought to substantiate the claim. If an instance of a good example was found that was not discarded but was included in this report as a subjective observation. Keywords: Validation testing; Software integration testing.
