Abstract :
This paper describes how a new testing methodology was employed to evaluate the possibility of reducing the cost of systems testing and improving reliability of the F-16A/B Expanded Fire Control Computer (XFCC) Operational Flight Program (OFP). This new testing methodology was utilized to automatically generate tests which provide all of the stimuli and verification needed to fully drive and test the XFCC OFP in a simulated environment
