Information on OT&E

OT&E is focused on functional or operational testing of the system, and is generally undertaken by users following acceptance of the system into service.
     Some Operational Test and Evaluation can occur earlier during Acquisition Phase, particularly for large, phased projects where the customer wants to assess the ability of the system to meet the original needs (as articulated and modified during Conceptual Design).
     Normally, to ensure objectivity, OT&E is conducted by a testing agency within the customer’s organisation that is independent from the acquiring agency within the customer’s organisation.
