Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-01 | Verify temperature control within specified limits. | Temperature maintained within +/- 2°C of set point. | Audit trail logs, temperature records. |
| OQ-02 | Verify relative humidity control. | Relative humidity maintained within +/- 5% of set point. | Audit trail logs, humidity records. |
| OQ-03 | Verify pressure cascade functionality. | Pressure maintained within specified limits. | Audit trail logs, pressure records. |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case OQ-01: Temperature Control
Objective: Verify that the HVAC system maintains the temperature within specified limits.
Procedure: Set the HVAC system to a target temperature and monitor for 12 hours. Record data at 30-minute intervals.
Acceptance Criteria: Temperature must remain within +/- 2°C of the set point.
Evidence: Collect and review the temperature audit trail logs.
Test Case OQ-02: Relative Humidity Control
Objective: Verify that the HVAC system maintains relative humidity within specified limits.
Procedure: Set the HVAC system to a target relative humidity and monitor for 12 hours. Record data at 30-minute intervals.
Acceptance Criteria: Relative humidity must remain within +/- 5% of the set point.
Evidence: Collect and review the humidity audit trail logs.
Test Case OQ-03: Pressure Cascade Functionality
Objective: Verify that the HVAC system maintains pressure according to specifications.
Procedure: Simulate operational conditions and monitor pressure levels for 12 hours.
Acceptance Criteria: Pressure must remain within specified limits.
Evidence: Collect and review the pressure audit trail logs.
Deviations
Any deviations observed during the testing must be documented in the deviation log and reported to the Quality Assurance team for evaluation and resolution.
