Maintain Customized Test Plans

Test plans are needed to define a sequence of test steps for each quality
assurance operation defined in the Maintain Customized Routing
(tipcs2170m000) session. Test steps specify the test characteristics and series of
actions that must take place to assure operational quality. Use this data to plan
test orders.
Before You Begin Before you may record test steps, you must run the following sessions:
■ Maintain Customized Routing (tipcs2170m000)
Session Procedure Use the Maintain Customized Test Plans (qamtp0130m000) session to identify
the item code and project for which you want to define a test plan.
1. Access the Maintain Customized Test Plans (qamtp0130m000) session:
■ Project—Enter the code that identifies the project. The project may be a
main project, a subproject or a single-level project.

maintain test plans. Several operation routes may apply to each
manufactured item.

MK checks the production plan for this item for quality assurance
operations (which should be specified corresponding to the session
Quality Control Operations (qamtp0001m000)). If quality assurance
operations are available, MK copies them into the test plan. MK
automatically generates one test step for each quality assurance
operation.
3. Mark the line for which you want to modify and enter new test steps. Select
Applications, 1 Test Steps to access the Customized Test Steps
(qamtp0131s000) session. See the section Customized Test Steps for details

the last test step number used plus 10, for example 10, 20, 30. You may
change the numbering sequence. However, we recommend using the
default values reserving the intervening numbers to insert additional
test steps later. For instance, if a test step must be inserted after test step
10 but before test step 20, then it can be assigned test number 15.
■ Test Step Status—The test step starts with the status "Incomplete". After
you enter all data needed to produce tests, MK automatically changes
the status to "Complete".
Note: If any of the test steps have the status "Incomplete", no test order

Test Parameters (qamtp2021s000).
■ AQL—Enter the acceptable quality level. AQL values are connected to error
type and define the level of security during acceptance tests.
On the production stage in the session Maintain Samples (qamoc1160s000)
the volume of the sample and the acceptable number of defects (defected
items) are defined according to the AQL value.
The Standard IS0 2859-1 defines a table of values, accepted by the AQL-
values. When you enter a value in this field, the program looks for the next
value in the table ISO 2859 and takes it as a defined AQL-value. For this
purpose it uses the table ISO 2859-1 for the normal sample plans, normal
tests - test level II.
Note: If you enter the AQL-value 100, the sampling procedure during
acceptance tests on the production stage is not used. This means the sample
volume and the acceptable number of defected items are equal to the whole
volume of produced items.
