Development of guidelines for equipment design and test-point selection to facilitate automated checkout

ResearchPublished 1966

A study of the development of guidelines for equipment design and test-point selection to facilitate automated checkout. A plan was developed for achieving this goal by generalization from the solution to many representative problems, and a mathematical model was developed, which could be solved to obtain optimum solutions to test-point-selection problems. Although lack of necessary data prevented completion of this program in the intended manner, methods of solution for the model were examined, since the solution to the test-point-selection problem for a particular system would still provide useful information. Methods for obtaining both optimum and approximate solutions to this type of problem are described and evaluated. To this extent, the objective of the program has been met. 61 pp.
