• Which of the following is accomplished by using the Test-Analyze-And-Fix (TAAF) process is used in the Duane Model?

1- Estimating the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) a certain part on a subsystem.

2- Discovering failures and fixing the root cause to improve product design

3- Identifying whether a system meets the contractual threshold and objective values

4- Determining the Mean Between Failure (MTBF) for certain subsystems.

• Effective Test-Analyze-And-Fix (TAAF) programs require the establishment of which of the following?

1- Reliability growth programs

2- Initial Capabilities Document (ICD)

3- Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)

4- Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP)

• Which of the following are test plan parameters? (Select the 2 alternatives)

1- Confidence

2- Limit multipliers

3- Number of observed events

4- Point estimate

• Which of the following are resources for researching DoD best practices? (Select the 2 alternatives)

1- Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E)

2- Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E)

3- DoDI 5000.02

4- MIL-HDBK-781

• Which of the following are required for reliability and maintainability programs by DoDI 5000.02? (Select the two alternatives)

1- Regular reporting of reliability growth progress during system development.

2- Development of reliability growth curves

3- Charts illustrating the reduction of failure rates.

4- Summaries of the actions taken to improve system dependability

• Which of the following are risks of accepting a Type II - Accept Error? (Select the two alternatives)

1- Higher support costs than expected

2- Delay in deployment of needed capability

3- Additional funding for redesign

4- More mission failures than expected

• Why is it important for the government and contractor to determine and agree upon a definition of failure?

1- Using different definitions of failure is okay because the government's definition of failure is ultimately used.

2- Using different definitions of failure can change the dependability of a system.

3- Using different definitions of failure affects how many failures are counted, affecting Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) calculations.

4- Using different definitions of failure affects how tests are conducted.
