Assessing the Effectiveness of Environmental Test Programs

NASA's Code QE Test Effectiveness Program is funding a series of applied research activities focused on utilizing the principles of physics and engineering of failure along with those of engineering economics to assess and improve the value added by various validation and verification activities, with the primary emphasis being on testing.

JPL/NASA/IEEE Test Effectiveness Workshop

(none given)From OBJECTIVES: Specific objectives of the working group are to support the innovation, development, evaluation and implementation of test methods, metrics and tools based on failure engineering/physics and/or root cause evaluations. Data sources systems and tools shall be developed and implemented that: 1) provide improved preventions, controls, analyses and tests (PACT) & field failure data collection, 2) facilities data analysis, archiving, retrieval, failure physics and/or root cause evaluations and 3) enable new and existing technology suitability evaluations to be performed.
