Information on Developmental Test And Evaluation
Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) is largely undertaken in
the Acquisition Phase to support the design and development effort.
Developmental Test and Evaluation is generally undertaken by the
contractor since they are the developer of the system. The
customer will invariably want visibility of the testing process and
results through the technical reviews and audits.
Developmental Test and Evaluation takes place throughout the Acquisition Phase and aims to
highlight design deficiencies early, since the earlier a deficiency is
noted, the cheaper and easier it is to rectify. Developmental
Test and Evaluation is used to validate designs and
to monitor and minimise design-related risks. It therefore covers a
broad range of testing levels
