Monitoring Test Aids


What does monitoring test aids mean?
Where test software or reference standards such as test hardware are used as testing aids, these aids must be checked regularly for correctness.

Is this important for software development?
The most important checks in software development are performed by

  • reviews
  • functional tests

As a general rule, no special test aids are used. Situations can occur, however, when test hardware is also used when testing specific features of software (testing data on data lines using protocol testers, etc.). It is then necessary to use a device which is checked regularly (a requirement of quality standard EN ISO 9001).

How do I monitor the test aids?
Regular checking of such devices is performed automatically in the PSE if they are obtained / borrowed from CCN or measurements are performed by CCN itself.
