Testing and Evaluation

Testing, verifying, demonstrating, and evaluating takes place during the entire engineering process. Those activities are part of the Testing and Evaluation stage, even though this stage is listed in the final stages of the Engineering Method. Developing proper tests, testing, analysis and reporting differ depending on the engineering contexts.

Design and Implementation Testing

At the end of Implementation, the key question is:

Will the product function according to the specifications and according to the vision in the End Product Visualization Document?

Operational Testing

Testing in the "intended use environment".
