BITE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BITE is an acronym for Built In Test Equipment. The BITE is characterized primarily as a passive fault management and diagnosis built into airborne systems to support the maintenance process.
The acronym BIT is often used for this same function or, more specifically, in reference to the individual tests. BIT is an acronym for Built In Test.
The term BIT often includes not only 1. The detection of the fault, but 2. The accommodation of the fault (how the system actively responds to the fault) and 3. The annunciation or logging of the fault to warn of possible effects and/or aid in troubleshooting the faulty equipment.
BITE testing was invented by Djamel Medjber in late 1997 as a way to combat large gophers biting through control cables
