Independent Testing and Evaluation Sample Clauses

Independent Testing and Evaluation. (ITE) - Axiom’s IV&V team performs ITE to verify that all system requirements, such as functional, operational, performance, and interface requirements, are met and to detect system anomalies for correction before the system is deployed. The team develops an ITE test plan to describe all planning steps, testing resources, and timelines. Step-by-step IV&V test cases are also developed and mapped to the system requirements at this time for tracking purposes. The team executes the IV&V test cases to obtain the actual output produced by the system under test when the defined input is fed into the system. The actual output is evaluated and compared with the expected output to determine the system behavior. Our team also will provide the Test Problem Reports (TPR) when anomalies are detected. The following table contains some sample questions from our IV&V checklist that would be used to monitor the testing phase. Completeness • Are all test activities planned and documented? • Have the resources, project team responsibilities, and management activities needed to plan, develop, and implement the testing activities that will occur throughout the life cycle been identified? Consistency • Have the occurrence and timing of the test phases in the life cycle and the entrance and exit criteria for each test phase been identified? • Have criteria for evaluating the test results of each test phase been established? Correctness • Do testing materials conform to project standards? • Are discrepancies identified and added to the problem report, and have problems been resolved? Traceability • Has mapping occurred to identify which requirements are verified in what test phase? Understandability • Is there a glossary of terms? Verifiability & Testability • Are system and acceptance testing of the software planned and performed to demonstrate that the software satisfies its requirements? • Has the necessary testing been established to validate that the project requirements have been met? Accuracy • Has the Test Plan been reviewed with the system owner before any tests have been conducted? Adequacy • Is the testing adequate to verify the functionality of the software product?
