A navy plan for the development of a practical computer-aided programming (cap) system for analog circuit test design

This paper addresses some of the problems inherent in the development of Test Program Sets (TPS) re guired to apply automatic test equipment in support of Navy avionics. It then outlines a 3- to 5-year R&D Program to develop a Computer-Aided Programming (CAP) System which would imp-rove quality and reduce costs over the current manual processes for produc ing TPS for avionics containing analog circuitry. Since the R&D effort is just beginning, only the initial tasks are described.
