6.3 Activities

6.3.5 Evaluation

6.3.5.12 Preparing Evaluation Specification Delivery

Purpose

Based on the specifications in the »QA Manual, the necessary steps for the receiving inspection shall be specified. If acceptance testing is performed at the manufacturer's location, a receiving inspection will not be required. It will be necessary, however, to determine the desired configuration of the evaluation object.

The evaluation cases shall be derived from the requirements included in the »Contract, and each requirement shall be covered by at least one evaluation case.

6.3.5.12.1 Specifying Evaluation Strategy

For each system element the evaluation strategy shall be derived from the System Implementation, Evaluation and Integration Concept or from the »Enabling System Implementation, Integration and Evaluation Concept and refined. Subsequently it shall be documented in the »Evaluation Specification System Element.

For each evaluation object listed in the evaluation plan testing requirements shall be established. Provided it is relevant, the connection between test requirements and the requirement documents shall be described.

The evaluation case structure, i. e. the principal setup of each evaluation case, shall be defined.

Furthermore, depending on the defined evaluation strategy, the test method with regard to test types and verification methods shall be described for each evaluation object.

If safety and security must be considered, the test method will be determined on the basis of the safety and security level/method matrix in the »Project Manual and the criticalities defined for the respective functional unit.

6.3.5.12.3 Allocating Evaluation Cases to Requirements

See Allocating Evaluation Cases to Requirements in activity Preparing Evaluation Specification Usability.

6.3.5.12.4 Identifying and Determining Protective Measures

For each test of a system element it shall be determined whether a hazard may result from this test. Depending on the hazard, such as danger to persons, objects or property, and on the risks to be expected, protective measures shall be determined, defined and documented. When the protective measures are specified, it shall also be considered which safety-critical and security-critical functions will not be tested but simulated due to the potential hazard.
