Its main functions include: • Generation of test point specific data collection sheets • Entry and storage of completed data collection sheets • Review and approval of data • Data reduction • Generation of analysis charts • Test point tracking The system is a web based tool, and as such is available to test team personnel at any test site. Contractor personnel working on military acquisitions programs also have access to the tool because it is currently located on a non-government network system.
