Bidders Library Interoperability Test and Evaluation - JITC Fact Sheet.pdf

Overview The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) Test and Evaluation (T&E) Scorecard provides a standardized evaluation framework and a consistent template for reporting status from a T&E perspective for Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Projects throughout their lifecycle. The Scorecard is based on a combination of T&E lessons learned and service management best practices found in the Department of Defense Enterprise Service Management Framework (DESMF). The Scorecard focuses on eight Areas of Evaluation (AoEs):

Capability Interoperability Availability Capacity Transition Service Operations User Experience Cybersecurity

The JITC T&E Scorecard Guidebook includes recommended measures and metrics for evaluation of each of the Scorecard AoEs, and provides direction on how to use the T&E Scorecard template as a consistent reporting tool. The T&E Scorecard Guidebook covers the “What” while the associated JITC T&E Process Guidebook describes the “How.” The JITC T&E Process Guidebook for DISA Projects provides a description of the T&E approach, activities, roles and products necessary to establish standard and repeatable T&E processes for DISA Projects.

The JITC T&E Scorecard Computer Based Training (CBT) describes the Scorecard, breaking it down into its separate AOEs and identifies the T&E Scorecard role in the overall T&E Process. The T&E Scorecard CBT is available at: https://nit-jitc.nit.disa.mil/tools/lms/scorecard/ScorecardIMIFinal.html

Capabilities The application of the T&E Scorecard for framing the project evaluation and reporting at major milestones begins with the JITC Early Test Involvement (ETI) Team’s participation in Integrated Product Teams during the requirements generation and analysis phase, and continues to frame the T&E assessment throughout the project lifecycle.

Value Added to DISA Processes Assists the Development and Business Center in including T&E in the early planning stages of a project’s lifecycle, improves early identification of risks, and determines proper levels of test Establishes a positive working relationship between DISA T&E and Project Leads Creates an opportunity for seamless integration of T&E objectives with Project Plans Simplifies requirements and design analysis processes by providing a framework for requirement and design reviews and analysis Contributes towards capturing the risks associated with new DISA Projects as well as enhancements or major upgrades to existing DISA enterprise service offerings
