Purpose:
1. Present the overall context of a
test plan to validate the final design.
2. Identify lessons learned so far from
the prototype and testing.
3. Describe how the prototype
demonstration test will help validate your final design
1. Predict actual performance of your
prototype relative to key performance specs. (Updated simulation results,
augmented by any available testing results)
2. Directly compare the prototype you
will be testing with your final design, and for all cases where there is a
difference justify it in terms of safety (show that the actual prototype
configuration has been evaluated and found to be safe) and usefulness of the
results (show what provisions will be taken during the test to make sure the
performance results for the prototype relate to those for the final design).
3. Describe how your team proposes to
measure key metrics during the demonstration.
4. Describe the current status of your
prototype. What needs to be completed to
be ready for the qualification and safety tests. What is the schedule for these activities.
5. What future tests should be done to
fully validate the final design and to highlight key features of your design
that are a major focus of your business opportunity. [These can include tests
you actually plan to do as well as tests that should be done but that you will
not be doing as part of this class due to time/budget constraints]
Reminders:
1.
Make
sure you set the context before getting into details. Good system-level images (including users in
operating position(s)) and digital photos of the prototypes are important. Bring prototypes to the presentation if
possible.
Presentation
Details
1. One presenter from each team - The
entire team should contribute to the preparation and review of the presentation
2. Each presenter will have 10 minutes,
with ~7 minutes for feedback, discussion, and questions
3. Consider the target audience (Internal
technical managers who will decide whether or not to proceed with the prototype
testing as proposed).
4. The presenter fields all questions
but may pass them on to the appropriate team member to respond.
5. Business casual dress is appropriate
6. Presentation schedule is given on
calendar.
