Recognize the role of data alignment in supporting specific test objectives required to successfully conduct an overall evaluation Test Report 3.1.7.1 Assess the degree to a test & evaluation program ensures alignment of test data with test objectives. 3.1.7.2 Evaluate the use and application of collected test data in light of impact to operational requirements. Steps: 1. Identify the test and evaluation framework required to shape desired data collection. 2. Determine the cost, schedule and performance ramifications relative to accomplishments, gaps and/or new testing relative to the existing framework. 3.2 Test Execution 3.2.1 (DT): Oversee a comprehensive T&E program to validate system specifications and requirements including use of Modeling & Simulation.
