The article at the link below provides a snippet of information on flight test sequencing for weapons systems testing. That makes it worth a peek. But what else it does is show just a bit of the dirty laundry that is laying around the flight test world: the continued question of Developmental vs Operational test. At this late stage you would not expect that the DT guys would still need to wave the flag, but every time a new generation of operators and testers hit the field, some old lessons have to be re-learned. It seems that every new kid says "Why do we need all this DT?" They find out when they try to eliminate it.
