  Moonport, CH16-4
Test and monitor programs provided the means to automate the checkout process; they were the system engineer's primary software tool.
Test programs could be prepared in machine language, using the full capability of the computer's logic, or in Atoll (Acceptance Test Or Launch Language), a form of engineer's shorthand.
Many of the tests would start on their own - the launch team having programmed the computer to call up test programs at a certain time in the countdown or when another test was successfully completed.

NASA's Launch Operations Center, later renamed Kennedy Space Center, acquired computers for telemetry data reduction and display and began work on the checkout systems used for the Apollo spacecraft, a project later transferred to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.
Without automatic testing the confidence in the rockets could not have been attained, since they were too complex for effective manual procedures.
Marshall and Launch Operations personnel met in 1963 to determine whether the checkout equipment for both the Saturn vehicle and the Apollo spacecraft could be combined.
