On a Recursive Methodology for the Analysis of System Requirement Tolerances

Digital Engineering;Statistical Analysis;Verification & Validation;Test Coverage Evaluation;System Behavior

As a discipline within the defense industry Systems Engineering has not investigated using recursive techniques to update requirement bounds to optimize testing activities. Requirements are considered fixed elements by which the overall system performance adheres to. However, if test data is leveraged to challenge the validity of requirement bounds, statistics and systems theory may be utilized to increase system precision, determine test coverage, test dependencies, and characterize SoS interactions with opaque behaviors.
