Test and Verification

Overview

UUID: 4675CD82-C766-4D59-8AEC-C8CDACE41275

Summary: Test and Verification defines requirement-linked verification methods, acceptance-criterion readiness, evidence records, regression triggers, and unresolved verification work. This first-run section is a planned specification; all activity and result records remain Not Started.

Local Traceability ID: 0647B389

Expected Outcome: Each technical requirement can be connected to a planned method, a documented or unresolved criterion, and a future evidence package.

Requirements-First Authority

UUID: F6A37754-2F47-42EC-BFD3-FA42931D42E3

The defining sources are Requirements And Metrics.rst, approved subsystem intended-behavior pages, and Calibration And Characterization.rst. Reference standards may guide a method but do not create new project thresholds. Code, test implementations, logs, captures, and unreviewed measurements are outside this first-run authority boundary.

Status Vocabulary

UUID: 7C35F02D-E592-4B12-AD80-BDD5758F6876

  • Documented: The requirement or intended behavior exists in the authoritative Sphinx documentation.

  • Planned: A verification method is specified, but no execution claim is made.

  • Not Started: Required verification work has no reviewed evidence record.

  • Not In Docs: A criterion, condition, method detail, or evidence rule is unresolved in the authoritative documentation.

  • Future result disposition: Pass, Fail, or Inconclusive may be assigned only in a reviewed future evidence record.

Ownership Boundaries

UUID: EA26CCF8-0C4D-423B-8B9B-0623051D25A3

  • Integration owns interface contracts and interface checkpoints.

  • Test and Verification owns system-level methods, evidence packages, calculations, criterion readiness, and result disposition rules.

  • Host PC and Embedded own behavior-local tests.

  • Calibration and Characterization defines what is calibrated or characterized; this section defines how evidence is planned and reviewed.

  • Optical readiness remains a dependency for full-system characterization.

Note

The I/O and state-machine Visio files are intentionally empty. This section defines a lifecycle, not a verification state machine.
