All operational NASA SLR software resident on the Alpha running VMS must be year 2000 compatible, and has been modified, as necessary to meet this requirement. This Benchmark Report describes the procedures used to verify the accuracy of the software, the results of the benchmark tests, and any discrepancies resulting from the test runs.
The Alpha VMS Software can be broken down into four functional software groups: 1) Acquisition and Scheduling, 2) Data Flow and Posting, 3) Databases, and 4) Processing and Analysis. The verification of the software in each of these groups is outlined in Sections 3-6. 1.3 Year 2000 AlgorithmThe correct century must be determined for all 2-digit year fields. Therefore, all 2-digit year fields are converted to 4-digit year fields according to the following algorithm. If the year is less than or equal to 60, 2000 is added to the year. Otherwise, 1900 is added to the year. Henceforth, this conversion shall be referred to as the Year 2000 Algorithm. 2.0 BENCHMARK DATA SETThe Benchmark Data Set consists of Pre Year 2000 data, Post Year 2000 data, and data which crosses over from 1999 into 2000. Leap year was tested using February 29, 2000 and March 1, 2000 data. In addition, data crossing over from one year to the next was tested for non-leap year to non-leap year, leap year to non-leap year, and non-leap year to leap year. At least one pass for each type of satellite (low, medium, and high orbit) was tested. At least one pass from each of the following stations was tested: Moblas-4, Moblas-5, Moblas-6, Moblas-7, Moblas-8, Hollas, MLRS, TLRS-3, and TLRS-4. The benchmark data set is listed in Table 2.1.
Table 2.1 Year 2000 Benchmark Data Set In addition to the benchmark data set listed above, other data was used to test particular software packages, in order to verify certain capabilities. This testing will be detailed in the specific sections below.
