Verification and Validation of the Integrated Maintenance Information System (MIS) Diagnostic Module

Abstract : This technical paper documents a study to validate and verify the Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS) diagnostic module. This effort, while focusing on the diagnostic module, evaluated limited aspects of the technical order authoring and presentation module. Although testing was done on the IMIS diagnostic system, the scenarios investigated are applicable to most diagnostic systems, and the results and recommendations may also have wider applicability. This effort consisted of three segments: scenario development, test and analysis, and recommendations. The scenarios described conditions where pitfalls may exist in the current diagnostic system. Test and analysis focused on the procedures and results of demanding scenarios within the IMIS diagnostic module. Recommendations are provided base on adverse testing results.
