Information on Test and Evaluation Master Plan

The Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) is the major plan that coordinates the entire test and evaluation effort, including test management. The Test and Evaluation Master Plan is normally required by terms and conditions of the contract, prepared by contractor and approved by customer.
     The Test and Evaluation Master Plan is drafted during Conceptual Design and approved by the end of Preliminary Design. The Plan should be reviewed at each formal review to ensure that any design changes are reflected in the testing program.
     While the contents of the Test and Evaluation Master Plan will vary, an outline contents should include: a system description providing a brief description of the system and its major missions; test and evaluation program summary including test and evaluation responsibilities and schedule; an outline of the test and evaluation delineation between operational test and evaluation, development test and evaluation, and acceptance test and evaluation, reference to results of previous testing; details of future testing, test and evaluation resource summary, including personnel, test equipment, facilities, training and so on; appendices providing relevant documentation, test procedures and test reports.
