EngineeringDevelopment Test (EDT)

Front 16

__________________ test is a system-level DT conducted post-MS C that ensures design integrity over thespecified operational and environmental range. It must be completed usinglow-rate initial production (LRIP) assets, when available, prior to the FRPdecision review

DEVELOPMENTAL TEST & EVALUATION (DT&E)

Back 16

ProductionQualification Test (PQT)

Front 17

_______________ test is asystem-level test conducted post-FRP decision review to verify that theproduction item meets critical technical parameters and contractspecifications, to determine the adequacy and timeliness of any correctiveaction indicated by previous (pre-FRP) tests, and to validate manufacturer’sfacilities, procedures, and processes.

DEVELOPMENTAL TEST & EVALUATION (DT&E)

Back 17

ProductionVerification Test (PVT)

Front 18

___________________ test is a series of formal contractual tests conducted to ensure the effectiveness of themanufacturing process, equipment, and procedures. FAT is conducted on a randomsample from the first production lot. Repeated if the manufacturing process, equipment, or procedure ischanged significantly and when a second or alternative source of manufacturingis brought online.

___________________ T&Eused to verify that each production unit meets contract requirements. It isusually conducted at the contractor's facility. The Defense Contract ManagementAgency (DCMA) may provide oversight. Other Government personnel representingthe developer and/or the User may also observe this testing.

FOUR BASIC TYPES of Operational Testing (OT&E)

Back 24

Early Operational Assessment (EOA) - Performed on prototypes tohelp decision makers assess the proposed concepts.

Pre/Post MS B - Early UserTest (EUT)

Operational Assessment (OA) - Conducted to assess the system'spotential to meet mission requirements. Supports a Low Rate Initial Production(LRIP) decision.

Pre MS C/LRIP – Limited User Test (LUT)

Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&) - Conducted onproduction or production representative articles to support a Full RateProduction Decision Review.

Pre FRP – Initial Operational Test (IOT)

Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) - Conductedafter the system is in production and may continue throughout the lifecycle.

Post FRP – Follow-on Operational Test (FOT) and User AcceptanceTest (UAT)

As Required: Customer Testand Supplemental Site Test (C4/IT only)

Testing: program, procedure or process to obtain,verify, or provide data to determine the degree to which a system or systemsmeet, exceed or fail to meet stated objectivesObtains raw data, Measures specific, individual performancefactors, Is resource intensive

Evaluation: Independent process to review, analyze, and assessdata obtained from testing or other sources(Produces analyzed information from test data,modeling and simulation, or other sources,

Draws conclusions by looking at how thefactors interact, Is intellectually intensive)
