Description
Understand the planning, process, and products of system evaluation and system assessment through testing.
Learn how to build assessment plans and validation plans that map required system performance to test and analysis events.
Learn to develop a functional dendritic to assess system performance based upon test results. Understand the relationship between Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and test in a Model-Test-Model approach, as well as in Live-Virtual-Constructive environments.
Learn the meaning and importance of operationally relevant environments as it relates to Technical Readiness Levels (TRLs) and how to assess threat and environmental realism for test design. Put these skills into practice in the controlled environment of course example problems.
