What type of information needs to be in a written test procedure?
The review of the test procedures is an alternative to witnessing the tests, and is also being implemented to eliminate common testing mistakes or omission of necessary data to determine specification compliance. They should be step-by-step procedures that identify all the variables of the testing, specific test equipment, fixtures, and set-up required to perform the testing. They should also include data sheets with placeholders for all information that needs to be recorded in the test report or if data sheets are not included in the procedures, then the procedures need to identify all information that needs to be recorded on the data sheets.
