What is Distributed Testing
A process preferably persistent and continuous for linking
various geographically separated live virtual and
constructive sites and capabilities together in a distributed
environment for use across the acquisition life cycle to
support and conduct the Test and Evaluation (TampE) of a
system or systems-of-systems in a Joint and cyberspace
environment
A new way of thinking for many in the
Test and Evaluation Community

The JMETC Mission

JMETC provides the persistent and robust
infrastructure (network integration

technical expertise to integrate Live Virtual
and Constructive systems for test and

One week from initial coordination to test complete
Sequence
FA-18 data-link testers attended JMETC Users Group 04 on 20-21 May 2008
Learned which sites are already connected by JMETC
Called JMETC PM on 18 June requesting JMETC support Needed to link FA-18 lab at China Lake with F-16 lab at Eglin
JMETC was ready to support on 20 June Verified ports and protocols were open at site firewalls
First interoperability test conducted on 24 June Initial test identified interoperability problems Software modified that day

What is Distributed Testing
A process preferably persistent and continuous for linking
various geographically separated live virtual and
constructive sites and capabilities together in a distributed
environment for use across the acquisition life cycle to
support and conduct the Test and Evaluation (TampE) of a
system or systems-of-systems in a Joint and cyberspace
environment
A new way of thinking for many in the
Test and Evaluation Community

One week from initial coordination to test complete
Sequence
FA-18 data-link testers attended JMETC Users Group 04 on 20-21 May 2008
Learned which sites are already connected by JMETC
Called JMETC PM on 18 June requesting JMETC support Needed to link FA-18 lab at China Lake with F-16 lab at Eglin
JMETC was ready to support on 20 June Verified ports and protocols were open at site firewalls
First interoperability test conducted on 24 June Initial test identified interoperability problems Software modified that day
Successful re-test the following day on 25 June

Example FA-18 Interoperability Check
China Lake
One week from initial coordination to test complete
Sequence
FA-18 data-link testers attended JMETC Users Group 04 on 20-21 May 2008
Learned which sites are already connected by JMETC
Called JMETC PM on 18 June requesting JMETC support Needed to link FA-18 lab at China Lake with F-16 lab at Eglin
JMETC was ready to support on 20 June Verified ports and protocols were open at site firewalls
First interoperability test conducted on 24 June Initial test identified interoperability problems Software modified that day
Successful re-test the following day on 25 June

One week from initial coordination to test complete
Sequence
FA-18 data-link testers attended JMETC Users Group 04 on 20-21 May 2008
Learned which sites are already connected by JMETC
Called JMETC PM on 18 June requesting JMETC support Needed to link FA-18 lab at China Lake with F-16 lab at Eglin
JMETC was ready to support on 20 June Verified ports and protocols were open at site firewalls
First interoperability test conducted on 24 June Initial test identified interoperability problems Software modified that day
Successful re-test the following day on 25 June
