MIL-STD-2106A(SH) APPENDIX C
C.1. SCOPE
TAILORING INSTRUCTIONS
C.1.1 Scope. This appendix provides for tailoring the test procedure development process to meet the needs of individual test programs. This appendix is a mandatory part of this standard. The information contained herein is intended for compliance.
C.1.2 Applicability. There are circumstances in which the engineering process is inappropriate for development of test procedures as outlined in this document. In such cases the requirements of the standard may be tailored to conform to program constraints or to take advantage of economies afforded by previous development efforts.
C.2. DETAIL REQUIREMENTS
C.2.1 Tailoring philosophy. The requirements of this standard may be tailored to meet the needs of individual programs. However, any tailoring of the standard must be done in a way that will preserve the integrity of the development process. The development process prescribed by the standard has two objectives:
a. To develop test procedures that, as written, can be performed in a shipboard environment, and where any deviation of actual results from expected results can be attributed to equipment deficiencies.
b. To develop test outlines and test procedures that completely and adequately demonstrate the material readiness, operability and functionality of the equipment, or systems tested (i.e., ability of shipboard equipment and systems to perform their intended function).
Failure to verify the first objective becomes readily apparent during industrial testing and is reflected in the number of test problem reports and test change proposals submitted. Failure to meet the second objective results in the deployment of ships in an unknown and often inadequate state of readiness. The latter shortcomings are the more serious of the two and are the more difficult to detect and correct. Consequently, it is imperative that test procedure completeness and adequacy be built into the development process. Therefore, any efforts to tailor this standard must ensure that the procedures generated are both practical to perform and adequate to completely evaluate the
equipment or system being tested.
C.2.2 Tailoring to eliminate redundant effort. The development of test outlines and test procedures in accordance with this standard is accomplished in five phases.
a. Definition of the equipment or system to be tested (see 5.2.1).
b. Determination of testing requirements (see 5.2.2 through 5.2.6).
c. Test outline preparation and submittal (see 5.2.7, 5.2.8, and Appendix B).
d. Test procedure development and submittal (see 5.2.9, 5.2.10, and Appendix B).
e. Test procedure verification and final test procedure submittal (see 5.2.11 through 5.2.12.2).
C.2.3 Documentation of equipment and systems after minor modification. In cases where test outlines and test procedures have been prepared and validated for an equipment or system which subsequently undergoes minor modification, the following direction shall be used.
a. Define the differences between the modified and unmodified equipment or system.
b. List any functions, characteristics, or interfaces that have been deleted as a result of the modification and delete the corresponding test elements from the test outlines and test procedures.
c. List any functions, characteristics, or interfaces that have been added as a result of the modification and determine what test elements must be added to reflect these changes by using the instructions provided in 5.2.2 and
5.2.3.
d. List any changes in EXPECTED RESULTS SHEETS of existing test procedures is a result of equipment or system modifications.
