Military Training Systems Acceptance Test & Evaluation

Automated testing will need to become an integral part in the PMA-281 T&E program and an automated testing program needs to be developed and implemented. Since PMA-281 programs will comply with the OSD UCS Architecture, which is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based, the PMA-281 T&E program/automated testing strategy will need to consider automated testing throughout the entire SOA testing lifecycle. The goal of delivering faster, less expensive, and higher quality software will only be met with comparable improvements in the methodology and tools used for testing. The opportunity exists under this SBIR to develop and engineer an integrated technology suite to accomplish most efficient PMA-281 testing. Developing automatic testing capability across PMA-281 will allow for execution of complex tests and verification of the results in near real-time. These Phase II.5 efforts will provide a significant advancement in PMA-281 system execution, and supports PMA-281s desire to deliver capability at a faster pace within a fiscally challenged environment.
