The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the problems and

the Personnel and Training Evaluation Program WTEP). As in the case
of any system development,, not all the decisions made in the heat of
battle were right or the most appropriate. Many of our solutions may
be of intcrcst, however, since we do have a working program for test-
ing and evaluating military technical speciaiists.
PTEP is basically the product of system engineering. The personnel
involved in the development of the program are engineers, instructors,
and technical specialists: a systems analyst and a programmer applied
automatic data processing (ADP) procedures to almost all aspects of
the program.
Since "kho" we were going to evaluate was pre-determined, i.e., the
FBM weapons and navigation technicians, the first problem we had to
tackle was what we were going to use to pcrfcnn the evaluation. We
started with an advantage, since a job task analysis alreadl existed
in the form of the Personnel Performance Profiles (PPP) and the
Training Path System (TPS). The PPP and TPS provide the knowledge
