Use & Relationship

The test procedure identifies the step-by-step testing operations to be performed on items undergoing developmental, qualification, or acceptance testing. It identifies items to be tested, the test equipment and support required, the test conditions to be imposed, the parameters to be measured, and the pass/fail criteria against which the test results will be measured. The document is a compilation of individual test procedures for related elements of a system, subsystem, or equipment.

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

This DID is applicable to contracts requiring tests to be performed for the purpose of developmental or environmental evaluation, acceptance testing, and item qualification testing.

This DID supersedes DI-NDTI-80603.
