Test Planning Calculations Overview
The Test Planning Calculator provides for running test planning calculations. You can choose to use the chi-square, non-parametric binomial, or parametric binomial distribution to compute various values. To open this calculator, select LDA > Test Planning Calculator.
The following table describes the distributions that you can use to run various test planning calculations.
Distribution
Calculation
Chi-Square
Computes accumulated test time using a demonstration type of reliability, MTBF, or LX. For more information, see Using the Chi-Square Distribution to Compute Accumulated Test Time.
Non-Parametric Binomial
Computes reliability, confidence level, number of units, or allowable failures. For more information, see Using the Non-Parametric Binomial Distribution to Compute Reliability, Confidence Level, or Other Values.
Parametric Binomial
Computes test time or test units. For more information, see Using the Parametric Binomial Distribution to Compute Test Time or Units.
