Use & Relationship

The Test Plan outlines the plans and performance objectives at every level of testing on systems or equipment. It provides the procuring activity with the test concept, objectives and requirements to be satisfied, test methods, elements, responsible activities associated with the testing, measures required and recording procedures to be used.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract.

This DID is applicable to system and equipment tests that include design evaluation tests, engineering tests, preliminary qualification tests, formal qualification tests, human factors tests, operational tests and acceptance tests.

This DID supersede DI-NDTI-80566.
