I'm developing a test procedure to be the basis of a "bug report". I am looking for a fellow Linkzone user to be a QC checkpoint. Takers &/or comments. TIAThe standard way to do this would be to just publish your instructions and procedures. If somebody then reads and follows them they might provide you feedback if necessary.
I'm trying to avoid that until at least one person who hast the same device has test driven my procedure.
In the 70's and 80's I was part of engineering support. I wrote the test procedure for a new piece of equipment. I ran the test on a prototype unit. All worked as expected. I delivered the prototype and procedure to our Production Test Department. Their supervisor came back to be requesting that I widen some tolerances as they claimed the prototype could not met my spec. That sounded strange. I reran the test. The unit indeed failed. Investigation determined that there had been a component failure in the time between I had initially run the test and the test department had done their test run.
