Abstract
Maintainability in engineering terms means ease of maintenance / management of the product. Aircraft automatic test equipment (ATE) is heavily influenced by the design changes of the unit under test(UUT) since the test procedure is developed according to the function / performance characteristics of the UUT. Moreover, if the integrated ATE is an environment that checks more than one UUT, it is not easy to maintain the ATE for the UUT design changes. Developers should be able to flexibly cope with the change of development staff by selecting an easy and clear development method to improve the maintainability of ATE. It is also necessary to limit the area affected by the UUT design change to a specific range to minimize the area to be modified. In this paper, we propose ATE development method which focuses on maintenance improvement based on the aircraft ATE development process.
