Dates June 2006 - September 2007
Problem The independent verification and validation community has expressed a need for automated assistance in regards to STOL script analysis activities. This scripting language is unique in concept and design and requires a specialized analysis support system. Currently, practitioners have no automated methods to assist in analysis triage (i.e. a system that helps identify STOL behavior, traceability, complexity, and allows for script rank-ordering to accommodate varying levels of analysis effort).
Objective Phase 1 - Successfully identify the most applicable algorithm analysis and metrics methodologies for STOL analysis. In addition, to develop an automated analysis tool and verify utilizing a single NASA IV&V project which includes STOL scripts. Phase 2 - To further refine the automated tool based on Phase 1 activities. In addition, to further verify utilizing multiple NASA IV&V projects which include STOL scripts. This multi-project verification would progress to final tool enhancements and eventual use in practice.
