Test & Acceptance
5.1 - General
To insure that the delivered system provides the features and functional
capabilities specified in the system specification in order to achieve the
goals and objectives specified in the Requirements Analysis, we will
perform the following test procedures prior to accepting the system.
Each test procedure specifies the materials/information required, the test
procedure to accomplished, and the expected results of the procedure. The
test will be considered passed if the anticipated results are achieved;
however, should another, related test not pass, we may, at our discretion,
direct that previously passed tests be re-accomplished after any modifications
or corrections have been made to the system.
Vendors responding to this Request for Proposal need not indicate
compliance with each individual item, as compliance is expected. Vendors must
indicate any exceptions to any test or results that is not anticipated to
perform as expected herein.
