TEMP

Test and Evaluation Master Plan

What it actually means

The program's master test strategy: what must be evaluated (tied to KPPs and critical technical parameters), by which developmental and operational test events, with what resources, ranges, and targets. It's the contract between the program and the test community — and the document that reveals whether verification was actually planned or just assumed.

Where you'll meet it

Milestone documentation on DoD programs; owned jointly with the test agencies.
