DoDI 5000.89 / DAFI 99-103 prescribes DoD and Department of the Air Force guidance for capabilities-based Test & Evaluation (T&E), covering planning, execution, and oversight across acquisition pathway options. It defines roles, processes (e.g. integrated T&E, sufficiency assessments, risk acceptance), and reporting requirements for development, operational, and live fire testing in support of acquisition decisions. (Note: OT&E/LFT&E policy has since been superseded by DoDI 5000.98.) Referenced on 1.1 Oversight (Review and Approve)
