An in-depth coverage of the test and evaluation (T&E) techniques that have evolved in response to the increasing complexity and interdependency of systems. Types of testing will be examined (developmental, operational, etc.) as well as the tailoring of testing based on the end user (commercial, military). The T&E process, from requirements analysis through test conduct and reporting, as well as the various types of associated documentation will be covered. Test techniques associated with different disciplines (such as software, reliability, human factors) will be covered. The course concludes with a review of the best practices in Systems T&E.
