The need for multi-service test equipment standardization

The goal of this work is not to resolve the standardization of military testing issues but to create an awareness of some additional issues arising from a prime mission equipment developer perspective. A concept that calls for the creation of a base of reusable, sharable test functions which can be invoked at various stages during the life cycle of the product is developed. Basing these test methods on a modular automatic test equipment (ATE) ATE architecture focused on TPS interfaces allows test systems to be developed that support test code reuse across ATE
