## What project 9B88 buys

Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT) capabilities enable faster and more consistent testing across the Naval enterprise. Specifically in the near term this project seeks to implement ATRT into digital capabilities, laboratory testing, and the Overmatch Software Armory (OSA) DevSecOps environment to conduct secure system development scalable distributed simulation. A seamless push to afloat, airborne, and edge infrastructure allowing the Navy's designated user community to make software updates (new and modernization of old code) while maintaining, or eliminating, the need for an Authority to Operate (ATO). The Continuous Delivery/Continuous Integration (CD/CI) of capability enabled by the ATRT technology for real time software code analysis and performance testing in the Cloud Development Environment (CDE) as well as rapid feedback in the Operational Environment (OE). Enabling this effort, this program is developing and scaling the Integrated Modeling Environment (IME), which supports shared and linked Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) from the mission level to the function/system level. This will in turn power the ATRT models that analytically link together software code production output with intended planned capability developed against gaps filled at the mission level, enabling rapid and continuous iteration and deployment of software into the digital environment.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Management Services.

### Automated Test and Analysis

- Continue to scale the ATRT enterprise capabilities that support Cloud Development Environments (DevSecOps software factories, environments, and tools) - Continue the enhancement of ATRT tools supporting DevSecOps CD/CI in support of priority all domain mission thread(s). - Continue the scaling and expansion of ATRT to support…

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
