Testing Procedures

It's obvious this machine will not work perfectly the first few times. To make sure the machine works properly and according to plan, testing procedures must be conducted. While assessing each individual component, the list below of things to check will be followed:
1. Make sure the system works without fail.
2. Make sure the system works with other systems it will be co-operating with.
3. Make sure the system fits into its allocated space and does not prevent any other systems from working.
4. Make sure the overall appearence of the system compliments the other systems around it (not a different color, not to big, etc...)

If problems are encountered while testing, the following questionaire will provide insight on how to solve or assess the problem:
1. If the system didn't work, why not? What went wrong?
2. If it takes up too much room, is there any way to make it smaller or can you fit it elsewhere?
3. If the systems that are working together don't operate properly, is there any way to move them around to other areas so they work and carry out there job?
4. Did the machine complete it's overall task?
5. Did the machine look appealing and would you find it as a practical solution?

These two checklists are guidelines in order to make the production of the completed machine easier and more efficient. This will need to be done many times in order to make sure everything is working properly, as well as addressing problems early on.
