test suite document itself (e.g., “Appendix 5.A”, or “Table 5.1.1-1”)
Resource Requirements
The requirements section specifies the test hardware and/or software needed to perform
the test. This is generally expressed in terms of minimum requirements, however in some cases
specific equipment manufacturer/model information may be provided.
Revision History
This specifies the date of the last modification to this test.
Test Setup
The setup section describes the initial configuration of the test environment. Small
changes in the configuration should not be included here, and are generally covered in the test
procedure section (next).
Procedure
The procedure section of the test description contains the systematic instructions for
carrying out the test. It provides a cookbook approach to testing, and may be interspersed with
observable results.
Observable Results
This section lists the specific observables that can be examined by the tester in order to
verify that the DUT is operating properly. When multiple values for an observable are possible,
this section provides a short discussion on how to interpret them. The determination of a pass or
fail outcome for a particular test is generally based on the successful (or unsuccessful) detection
of a specific observable.
