PROGRAM TESTING MILESTONES

 

  1.

Gogo has furnished Test Format

 

  2.

Qualification Test Procedures (QTPs) have been submitted by ThinKom

 

  3.

Qualification Test Report (QTR) Submit: date per Table 6-1.

It shall be the responsibility of ThinKom to conduct and adhere to the criteria and Deliverables as specified herein for each milestone.

 

  5.1

QTP Submittal

ThinKom has generated Airbus QTPs designed to verify that [***] meet all the Airbus requirements. The QTPs have been written in Gogo’s approved format and have been approved by Airbus.

 

  5.2

Qualification TRR

A Test Readiness Review (TRR) is conducted to determine if the system under review is ready to proceed into formal testing by confirming the test procedures are complete and verify their compliance with Airbus requirements. A TRR is normally conducted before each major test configuration item including hardware and software and provides management with the assurance that a system has undergone a thorough test process and is ready for turnover to the next test phase.

The TRR assesses test objectives, test methods and procedures, scope of tests, and safety and confirms that required test resources have been properly identified and coordinated to support planned tests. The TRR verifies the traceability of planned tests to program requirements and user needs. The TRR also assesses the system under review for development maturity, cost/ schedule effectiveness, and risk to determine readiness to proceed to formal testing.

TRR success criteria includes the following:

[***]

The purpose of the TRR is to identify and establish (at a minimum) the following:

 

   

Qualification Test Procedure(s)

 

   

Final Environmental Qualification Test Procedure

 

   

Final Electrical Qualification Test Procedure

 

   

Final Structure Qualification Test Procedure (Crash Safety)

 

   

Final Requirements Verification Matrix
