  • Abstract
    A framework for establishing test-effectiveness criteria can be developed by analyzing the test experience of a satellite program. Such criteria can then be used to design an optimal test plan for future application. This paper reviews a typical acceptance test profile and uses a hypothetical example to illustrate a failure distribution scenario during acceptance testing. A method for improving test effectiveness is outlined.
