Continuous Metrics for Efficient and Effective Testing
In today’s fiscal environment, efficient and effective testing is essential. Often, military system requirements are defined using probability of success as the primary measure of effectiveness – for example, a system must complete its mission 80 percent of the time; or the system must detect 90 percent of targets. The traditional approach to testing these probability-based requirements is to execute a series of trials and then total the number of successes; the ratio of successes to number of trails provides an intuitive measure of the probability of success....
