Test Evaluation Vs Mop's

Question 1 (2 pts): What is the difference between “Test”, “Evaluation”, MOE’s and MOP’s? What is the relationship between MOE’s and MOP’s and what role do they play in the T&E process? “Test,” “evaluation,” “MOE,” and “MOP” are all terms used to define the test and evaluation (T&E) process that is used to determine the operational effectiveness and operational suitability of a solution to a need (or gap) through the measurement of defined parameters that effectively determine that effectiveness through consolidation of the determination of effectiveness of individual and separable functional and technical requirements of the solution. Test is defined as a “program or procedure that is designed to obtain, verify, or provide data for the evaluation of any of the following: (1) progress in accomplishing developmental objectives; (2) the …show more content…
Live simulations are enactments or reenactments in real-time by real performers to conduct the event—in T&E, so that the operational effectiveness and suitability of a solution can be determined through the measurements of the parameters associated with the live enactment of events and use of the solution/system. A virtual simulation is similar to a live simulation with the exception that parts of the environment are created and injected into the simulation by artificial means—e.g., a computer program is used to simulate (during the simulation, in real or near-real time) a system’s actions or a portion of the simulation environment during the simulation. Constructive simulations are non-real-time functions (almost exclusively conducted by computers because of the complexity of data manipulation and measurement) that take input associated with the simulation and provide output about the simulation—e.g., take environmental information about the simulation and determine a system’s state and/or output based on that
