Detailed Test Cases

Test Case IQ-01: Installation Verification

Objective: Confirm that the Manual Inspection Booth is installed in the correct location.

Procedure: Check the installation site against the approved layout and confirm environmental conditions.

Acceptance Criteria: Installation must be in designated area with proper environmental controls.

Evidence: Document any discrepancies and corrective actions taken.

Test Case IQ-02: Illuminance Measurement

Objective: Verify that the illuminance level is within the required range.

Procedure: Use a calibrated illuminance meter to measure the light levels in the booth.

Acceptance Criteria: Illuminance must be within specified range as per URS.

Evidence: Record measurements and calibration certificates of the meter used.

Test Case IQ-03: Background Contrast Assessment

Objective: Ensure that the background contrast meets specifications for effective inspection.

Procedure: Evaluate the contrast between the inspection surface and the product.

Acceptance Criteria: Background contrast must meet defined specifications.

Evidence: Document the assessment results with visual aids if necessary.

Deviations

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A corrective action plan should be implemented to address the deviations identified during testing.

Approvals

This protocol must be reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance Manager and the Validation Lead before execution.
