Abstract

Background:

Late 2001: Air Force leadership requested that the SEI conduct a brief probe to investigate software quality problems with the newly released Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS).
Development, fielding, and sustainment of MilPDS was owned by an office within the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC).
Late 2002: the SEI conducted a six-week, intensive study.
2004: the SEI returned to conduct a follow-on study.
