Test Name: Change Time Test

Purpose
Explain briefly but precisely what this test will attempt to determine. Explain how the test will yield objective data regarding meeting
at least one of the design goals for your product.

This will determine if our method of switching soles is easier, and quicker than the traditional changing of shoes when switching
activities.

Pass/Fail Criteria
What are your benchmarks? Determine what would constitute a passing/failing mark or condition for this test. How should the
device respond? How will you know if the event occurs during testing?

Pass – Our shoe takes less time to change from an everyday, casual sole to a running shoe sole compared to the time it takes for
the user to swap shoes.

Fail – The time it takes for the user to swap shoes is quicker compared to our method of changing soles on the shoe.

List the tools, parts, and supporting devices that you will need to set up the equipment. Include any visual or audio equipment
necessary to document this procedure.

Initial Conditions
Determine the conditions that must be in place prior to attempting this test. An example would be: The prototype is completed, the
device is installed properly, and power is provided to the unit.

The prototype is completed.

Safety Concerns
Identify any potential dangers posed to people or property that could result from testing. Describe precautions that must be taken
in order to ensure the safety of the tester and others and to protect tools, equipment, fixtures, and the surrounding facility from
damage.

Hazards Controls Completed (yes/no)


no hazards if test is done with
caution

Test Termination
Under what conditions would you have to stop your testing?

When the user successfully swaps shoes/soles.

Step by Step procedures


List the step-by-step process describing what needs to be done in order to run this test. Be very specific so that anyone could
perform this test without additional instruction.
1. The user starts with a causal shoe off of their foot.
2. The user puts on the shoe and ties it.
3. The user swaps the casual sole with the running sole, or swaps the casual shoe with a running shoe.
4. The shoe must be tied with a double knot and be ready for use to complete the trial
5. Time how long it takes for the swap
6. Repeat steps 1-4 with both the prototype and a pair of premade casual/running shoes.
