Testing requirements

Defining what must be tested and recording results.

Test requirements attach to a part or assembly and define what must be verified before it can pass.

Defining a requirement

1. Open the part's Testing tab and add a requirement.
2. Describe the test and its acceptance criteria — be specific enough that two people would judge it the same way.
3. Set the sampling: every unit, first article, or a defined sample.
4. Add expected duration, which feeds the labour rollup.

Recording results

Results are recorded against the requirement with a pass or fail, the measured value where applicable, who tested, and any attached evidence. Failures can be linked to a change request.

Exporting

Requirements and results export as a test plan or a report, which is normally what a customer's quality department asks for.
