AFIPPS - Government-Performed Test and Evaluation
Abstract
The AFIPPS Test and Evaluation Strategy encompasses Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), and a Cybersecurity Evaluation (CSE). DT&E comprises two test series: Component Verification and Integration (CV&I) and Qualification Test and Evaluation (QT&E). CV&I is performed primarily by the system integrator and observed by Government Stakeholders. QT&E activities, on the other hand, are performed primarily by numerous Government Stakeholders. CV&I activities within this thrust focus on pre-test planning and post-test analysis. This thrust includes all QT&E activities. The DAF recently restructured the OT&E Strategy as well as the deployment schedule based on the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Director Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) recommendations to better address system performance risks. Instead of a single Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) event following Go-Live, the DAF will conduct an Operational Assessment ahead of a January 2025 Go-Live Limited Deployment. IOT&E will take place thereafter once all interfaces have deployed. This thrust includes all OT&E activities. The CSE activities accomplished within this thrust are performed primarily by Government Stakeholders.
