CASSTRAC: a paperless support and information exchange

Abstract

A database related program called CASSTRAC has been developed to help resolve reported problems concerning the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS), the US Navy's newest piece of automatic test equipment (ATE). The authors describe CASSTRAC and its evolution from an obsolete problem resolution process. It was designed and developed to replace obsolete and inefficient processes used for reporting and tracking ATE related problems. CASSTRAC, which functions as a paperless support system as well as an information exchange/display system, will ultimately reduce the costs associated with the development of test program sets on CASS.<>
