| Abstract: | Ensuring domination on the battlefield is the primary goal of all defense contractors. The collective challenge is the time and cost to field systems that meet this goal while taking advantage of opportunities to improve the delivery of capabilities faster with the same or better reliability. One overlooked area is the approach to Test and Evaluation planning, execution, and management. By thinking of test as an evolving and responsive program, several key items are necessary to meet the need of relevance that stands out. First, a fully integrated source of truth framework across the entire life cycle of product test that includes operational use testing, development testing, and production testing. Next, the process needed to deliver products that make execution efficient across integrated product teams and stakeholders during all phases of the program. Finally, a single accountable authority, a Test Architect, to ensure a focused empowered voice of test for the program. By creating an integrated Test Strategy and Architecture, the Test Architect is capable of optimizing an integrated test program that is adaptable to changes as they present themselves during development by closing gaps and seams early. This paper presents all three elements and provides an example of applying the principles to the development cycle of a demonstration program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
