CORRECT ANSWER -*Iteratively for as long as is needed to achieve performance requirements* -At the end of each acquisition life cycle phase -During the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase -During Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Which of the following is accomplished by using the Test-Analyze-And-Fix (TAAF) process is used in the Duane Model? CORRECT ANSWER -Estimating the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) a certain part on a subsystem -Identifying whether a system meets the contractual threshold and objective values -*Discovering failures and fixing the root cause to improve product design* -Determining the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for certain subsystems Why is it important for the government and contractor to determine and agree upon a definition of failure? CORRECT ANSWER -Using different definitions of failure is okay because the government's definition of failure is ultimately used -*Using different definitions of failure affects how many failures are counted, affecting Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) calculations* -Using different definitions of failure affects how tests are conducted -Using different definitions of failure can change the dependability of a system
