Activity-in-Diagram: Develop the Initial DEF
CreatorTim Ramey
Description
The DT&E program populates the DEF [Developmental Evaluation Framework] with test events to provide supporting decision data needed to:
* Verify achievement of critical technical parameters and the ability to achieve key performance parameters and assess progress toward achievement of critical operating issues.
* Assess the system's ability to achieve the thresholds prescribed in the capabilities documents for cybersecurity requirements, if any.
* Provide data to the PM to enable root cause determination and to identify corrective actions.
* Include T&E activities to detect cybersecurity vulnerabilities within custom and commodity hardware and software.
* Stress the system within the intended operationally relevant mission environment.
* Support security control assessment for the RMF assessment and authorization process.
When developoing the cybersecurity portion of the DEF, the DEF Core Team, with support from the CyWG, uses the DEF Core Team-defined DSQs.
