GSD TO8 Test Plan

Assumptions:

• Performance testing of TO8 will be conducted on both gwar and the new AWIPS II hardware. The gwar testing will allow comparison to TO6 performance.
• Both live and sample data will be used for testing.

Test cases (.doc) are linked to the case ID number.

TO8_0001:

• Test Objective: Determine the adequacy of the documentation and training for TO8 testing.
• Type of information to be recorded: Staff input (solicited/unsolicited)
• Test Level: System
• Test Type/Class: Human Factors
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration, Inspection, Similarity

TO8_0002:

• Test Objective: Determine whether TO8 software can be successfully installed with the accompanying documentation/instructions.
• Type of information to be recorded: Feedback from installation focal points
• Test Level: System
• Test Type/Class: Human Factors
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration

TO8_0003:

• Test Objective: Determine whether Raytheon test procedures and results can be replicated at GSD using both real-time and supplied static data.
• Type of information to be recorded: Raytheon test procedure checklists
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Regression Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration, Similarity

TO8_0004: The work for this test case was done as part of the percent completion task for AWIPS II.

• Test Objective: Ensure the radar capabilities promised for TO8 are actually in the release.

TO8_0005:

• Test Objective: Compare TO8 performance with TO6 performance for test procedures that can be run on both builds.
• Type of information to be recorded: action, elapsed time
• Test Level: System
• Test Type/Class: Regression & Performance Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Test, Analysis
• Special Requirements: Will run on gwar with TO6 test data to compare build to build, and on new AWIPS II hardware.

TO8_0006:

• Test Objective: Compare TO8 test procedures with same procedures run on an AWIPS build (i.e. side-by-side comparison). Look at user interface, performance, etc.
• Type of information to be recorded: Raytheon test procedure checklists
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Regression & Functional Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration, Inspection, Test

TO8_0007:

• Test Objective: Once we see exactly what is in the build, conduct additional tests that will utilize the system based on our knowledge of operational use.
• Type of information to be recorded: TBD
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Functional Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration

TO8_0008:

• Test Objective: Determine flexibility of Purger
• Type of information to be recorded: extract purger events from logs, inspect CAVE inventories
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Data Acquisition & Functional Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration, Inspection

TO8_0009:

• Test Objective: Add a new localization
• Type of information to be recorded: visual comparison to D2D scales, local warning displays, WarnGen environment, Sunrise/Sunset default settings, etc.
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Functional & Human Factors Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Demonstration, Inspection

TO8_0010:

• Test Objective: Determine data integrity
• Type of information to be recorded: visual comparison, data sampling, listings of text-based data, others TBD
• Test Level: Subsystem
• Test Type/Class: Data Acquisition & Functional Testing
• Qualification/Verification Method: Inspection, Analysis
