Dynamo – Evaluate. Optimize. Prioritize. Adapt.

Decision support software that dynamically updates knowledge as test data arrives

Test and Evaluation Optimization Tool

Optimize test plan execution, maximize system knowledge gained vs. cost

What to test and when to stop testing
Focus testing on environs/contexts where system acceptance is uncertain and the value of information gained is expected to exceed the cost of gaining it
Measure benefit and cost in “common currency” that combines weighted stakeholder priorities for risk, operational effectiveness, schedule, and test resources

Predicts system performance in each environment/context

Key performance parameter (KPP) estimates with uncertainty ranges

Leverage the most utility from system performance information

Ingests the TEMP, KPPs, and test team’s objectives, tailored to the test platform
Ingests all background information available: previous test data, simulations, models
Provides a dashboard for Test Directors to see progress (gray represents uncertainty in system performance against KPPs)

Adaptive test point (TP) selection

Provides TP options comparing value of knowledge gained against TP cost
Applies & predicts knowledge gained real-time to planned TPs reducing unneeded testing

Dynamo demonstrated on T&E of counter-fire radar

Harnessing Dynamic Knowledge for Strategic Test Planning

Utilizes a Bayesian framework with TEMP, KPPs, prior test data, and SME inputs for initial knowledge representation.
Tightens knowledge about system parameters as test data arrives.
Predicts value of knowledge and calculates net benefit for each test plan.

Visualizes knowledge updates dynamically, aiding in the assessment of system parameters.
Computes the probability distribution of outcomes for proposed test plans to determine net benefits.
Recommends testing decisions that provide the most “bang for the buck.”
