communication. Once developed, they must be managed, constantly communi- cated and controlled. Test creep cannot be allowed to create havoc; testing must be conducted to address a specific require- ment and must consider risk.
PdM Test and the JPO JLTV (consist- ing of engineers, logisticians and quality assurance, budgeting and contracting personnel) are reviewing and assessing the EMD phase test results to better under- stand areas of performance risk, and will provide ATEC with recommendations to improve test efficiency and effective- ness. PdM Test’s goal is to maximize test efficiency and effectiveness during the production phase by eliminating redun- dant testing—analyzing risk and target tests accordingly—as well as employing test design techniques to ensure efficiency in producing statistically significant and defensible test results. EMD phase lessons learned in all functional areas within the JPO JLTV will be carried over into the production phase beginning in this fiscal year’s fourth quarter to ensure successful program execution.
