The Operational Test and Evaluation of the Products of a Defined Software Process

This article explores the operational test and evaluation (OT&E) of products produced through a defined software process. It discusses the importance of OT&E, the role of CMMI, and the need for a program ROI. The article also highlights the requirements, challenges, and benefits of OT&E within the operational environment.

  3. Already Said… • CMMI isn’t • a product measure • a guarantee • an external performance standard • CMMI does • provide efficiency ROI to the Program • include the operational aspects of performance • support continuous involvement

  4. OT&E ROI • Referent model for evaluating operational performance • Identifies user interface to development • Characterizes artifacts • Emphasizes CONOPS/Concept of Employment early • Embodies the concept of Speed of Command WRT system and capability development • Encourages self-awareness “The problem with looking for self-awareness is you might actually find it.” W. C. Fields

  5. Program ROI • Requires an analytical basis that permits trade-off analysis in the mission performance space • Characterizes problems • Bounds solutions • Identifies risk incurred as a result of an incomplete process “Not everything that matters can be counted; not everything that can be counted matters.” -Albert Einstein

  7. Operational Test & Evaluation? • What • Who • When • How • Why • Statutory assessment of acquisition systems within the operational environment • Each Service delegates OT&E authority • Continuously throughout the lifecycle • OUE, OA, OPEVAL • System performance is fundamentally different from mission capability
