Abstract

This article describes the Top Down Implementation Plan used by the Operations Sustaining Engineering Section for the development of System Performance Test software during the Mark IV-A era. The plan is based upon the identification of the hierarchical relationship of the individual elements of the software design, the development of a sequence of functionally oriented demonstrable steps, the allocation of subroutines to the specific step where they are first required, and objective status reporting. The results are meaningful determination of milestones, improved managerial visibility, better project control, and ultimately a successful software development.
