Included will be a discussion of the following topics 1 An RDT and E program for development of automated testing techniques 2 Selection and acquisition of the proper Automatic Test Equipment ATE i.e. built-in, special purpose, general purpose, self-test 3 Problems in acquiring ATE software 4 Standardization of ATE and 5 Description of available organizations, tools and aids to assist in acquiring and applying ATE.
