lStep 4: Determine
testing/verification approaches
»Identify what procedure your team will use to
check that each
specification is met
»State when the test or verification will occur in project timeline
»Examples (from disc launcher):
Quantified
specification:
•Grasping surface can be held by the 95 percentile 4 year old
•Average
diameter of grasping surface < 1 in.
Test/verification
measure:
•Review of concept variants (estimated size of grasping surface) during concept selection
•Verify
with engr. drawings during preliminary design phase
The Performance Specification Method
