TPS Development Process With many years of historical experience, WesTest Engineering has proven and mature processes that guide each step in a quality program unmatched for TPS Design, Development, Integration and Support. While these processes are much too extensive to detail here, a more detailed presentation can be made available. Here is an overview: Requirement and Data Analysis – Our Program Manager will oversee all aspects of this initial step. At WesTest we feel this is absolutely the most important step to develop a good foundation for a high quality, complete implementation of a test capability for any Unit Under Test, no matter the complexity. At WesTest this is a very real focus. Program Plan – Again, as with all steps in our TPS Process, the Program Manager plays a key role in organizing not only the requirements, but also forming the team that is best suited for the requirement. As part of this, he works with the team to analyze and breakdown a complete Program Plan. This includes all aspects of the program, from design, development, performance schedule and milestone definition. The Program Plan is presented to and approved by the customer and his team. TPS Design – As a reminder, the TPS includes Software, Hardware and Documentation. The TPS Design Process includes a Preliminary Design, Critical Design and Final Design. Each of these phases of the process is accompanied by a review with the customer and his team. Minutes, comments and action items are assigned and tracked. The Final Design will be implemented and tracked to all artifacts per the Program Plan. These are all available on the WesTest website and reviewable by the customer at any time. TPS Development – True to the Final Design, the WesTest team will develop all Software, Interface Fixturing and Cable Sets in support of the Test Strategy. The Program Manager reviews the progress, at a minimum, weekly and reports to the customer as required. Intermediate internal reviews are held and documented as part of the artifact depository for all development. TPS Integration – This is truly the secret sauce to WesTest success. It takes insightful experience to truly understand and implement a good integration plan. Our Engineering Staff is unmatched in the TPS sector and are uniquely qualified for any integration anomaly. This is where the rubber meets the road and our processes and techniques are mature and proven.
