The paper discusses the evolution of flight testing from the first military flight demonstration in 1908 to the present day evaluations. It highlights the reasons that are causing the changes in testing methodology: enormous costs of weapon systems, advancing technology, long development cycle, and user impatience with unreliable equipment. In addition, it projects the future direction in view of the emerging role of avionics systems, simulation, joint test teams and software flexibility.
