Template for Design Sheet and Testing Plan for China Production

July 5, 2015 by Renaud Anjoran

New Product IntroductionLast week we published advice for sending the right information in your design file to a Chinese manufacturer you’re working with on product development and manufacturing. But, to be really helpful, we should have prepared a template like the one we did before for spec sheets.

So here you go — here is a Word format template: Design Files Template.

We also thought we should add information about the testing plan. In the past we drew a nice infographic about setting up a checklist, but it is very general and doesn’t go much into details.

We made a list of tests that make sense primarily for electronic, electrical, and/or mechanical products:

  • Compatibility testing – Is a non-functional test conducted on the application to evaluate the application’s compatibility within different environments.
  • Conformance testing (also known as compliance testing) – Is a methodology used in engineering to ensure that a product, process, computer program or system meets a defined set of standards.
  • Functional testing – Tests the functions of a component or system and refers to activities that verify a specific action or function of the product, process, computer program or a system element.
  • Pre-build testing – Involves testing critical components or sub-assemblies prior to any build or assembly process to ensure correct functionality.
  • In-process testing – Is a practical approach to finding and containing defects where and when they occur within the build process.
  • End-of-line testing – Involves ensuring that the integrated components of an application function as expected. The entire application is tested in a real-world scenario such as communicating with the database, network, hardware and other applications.
  • Load testing – Is the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions.
  • Performance testing – Covers a wide range of engineering or functional evaluations where a material, product, or system is not specified by detailed material or component specifications: rather, the emphasis is on the final measurable performance characteristics. Testing can be a qualitative or quantitative procedure.
  • Regression testing – One of the main reasons for regression testing is to determine whether a change in one part of the software affects other parts of the software
  • Stress testing – Involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
  • System testing – Is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system’s compliance with its specified requirements.
  • Unit testing – A unit test is an automated piece of software code that invokes a unit of work in the system and then checks a single assumption about the behavior of that unit of work
  • User acceptance testing – In engineering and its various sub-disciplines, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. It may involve chemical tests, physical tests, or performance tests.
