Description

This report addresses Test and Evaluation (T&E) of software intensive systems and the DoD's efforts to improve the software process. DoD software costs total over $30 billion a year, of which 2/3's is for maintaining, upgrading, and modifying operational systems already in production. Today's major defense systems depend largely on the quality of this complex and increasingly costly software. Because software error can cause a system to fail, possibly with life threatening consequences, software intensive systems need to be thoroughly tested before production. Charts and tables.
