Effectiveness Testing of Embedded User Support for U.S. Army Installation-Level Software

Abstract

This report addresses the actual development of the Dynamic Help module and the testing of the module as installed in the Consolidated Issue Facility (CIF) Installation Support Module (ISM) developed and maintained by Software Development Center-Atlanta (SDC-A). The test procedures, dynamic help development, test tasks, and results of actual tasks are shown in appendixes. Dynamic Help is an on-line user-invoked help message capability developed for supporting ISM modules identified by the PM-ISM. Messages are assembled from stored phrases and the available state variables. This information is of significant importance to the PM-ISM and the ISM Project Support Staff (Software Integration Group-SIG). Additionally, this information could prove to be of value to all software development activities throughout the Army and DOD....
