Test Description and Objectives

Description and motivation of the test: What is the objective of this test? In case the test is performed in Environmental Conditions (Vibrations or Thermal Vacuum), it is necessary to define the loads and profiles.

Requirements Verification

Project requirements that shall be verified with this test.

Requirement ID Description
   

Test Set-Up

Description of the required components to perform the test (be accurate)

  • Subsystem and its components
  • Tools and components
  • Desktop objects (pencil, watch, etc.)
  • Ground Segment equipment
  • Clothe equipment

Pass/Fail Criteria

Description of which metric is used to perform the test and when it is considered that the test passed or not. If different metrics are used, it is important to define when the test passed or not (e.g. when all the metrics are in the pass criteria, or when only one of them).

Test Plan

This section includes the test sequence necesary to do the test. The test sequence must include all the steps, from the set-up up to the conclusion of the test.

Test Results

Description of the Test results with supporting data.

  • Test name, test execution dates, the test facility used and the operators
  • Test Logbooks
  • “As-run” procedures (to be provided in annex)
  • Test facility results (if applicable)
  • Photographs relevant to the set-up(s) and inspection(s) (may also be added in the Conclusions to clarify a close-out judgement, e.g. for an inspection)
  • Analysis of the test data and relevant assessment.
  • Synthesis of the overall test results per verification (e.g. Vibration, Inspection 1, Inspection 2, etc.).

Anomalies

List of deviations to the Test Specification and Procedure and non-conformances witnessed during the test campaign, including a brief description, the close-out status and reference to the relevant reports.

Conclusions

The Conclusions shall include (where needed as annex):

  1. Test results, including as a minimum:
    • Requirement to be verified
    • Subsections of test campaign in which that requirement was verified (e.g. Thermal Vacuum RFT 1, Inspection 1, Inspection 2, ...)
    • Close-out judgement (compliance status) and rationale, per subsection of the test
    • Traceability to used documentation
    • Conformance or deviation including references
  2. Overall conclusion on the success of the test, including clearly stated and described open issues and possible remediating actions.
  3. Test Readiness Review minutes and Post Test Review minutes
