___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Objectives of the Test

This document describes the test plan for the 9000 Advanced Color Module and includes information on what is
to be tested, and how the testing is to be accomplished (test methodology). Specifically, this document describes
the tests to be performed, the testing schedule, resources required, entry criteria, exit criteria, dependencies, test
tools, metrics and the Test Plan Requirements Matrix. This is a living test plan and must be changed to reflect
Core Team needs and requirements as they arise.

The main purpose of this test is to verify the requirements for the 9000 Advanced Color Module as set forth in
References 2 and 3 (Advanced Color Module SRS and Common Image Generator SRS).

2. Test Description

2.1 Description

Much of the functionality that was handled by the module firmware and DLL has been relegated to the Common
Image Generator, and much of what is in the CIG is being tested by the UltraGraphics Module tests. Thus every
attempt will be made not to overlap too much with what is being covered by UltraGraphics. For example, all the
image positioning commands are handled by the CIG and will be tested by UltraGraphics, making it unnecessary
to stress this aspect of color photo printing here.

System Verification Test will be broken into three phases:

 Entrance Testing will verify that the new Advanced Color Module can process a standard set of color images
that use the 4 hybrids of Version A and B headers. See Appendix B.2 for a description of the Entrance Test
cases.

 Main Test will thoroughly verify the operation of the Advanced Color Module software and hardware.
Main Test determines that all the requirements in the SRS have been satisfied.
The Main Tests will consist of both new tests written for this SVT effort as well as tests selected from the current
9000 Library of test cases. The following types of testing, as specified in Reference 4, will be included:
➢ Specification testing
➢ Functional testing
➢ Compatibility testing
➢ Documentation review

See Appendix B.3 for a description of the Main Testing test cases.

 Regression Test will be performed as a subset of Main Test to verify the integrity of the Advanced Color
Module after all problems found during Main Testing have been attended to. This means that all Severity 1
and 2 defects have been fixed and verified and that the product is ready for release.
See Appendix B.4 for a description of the Regression Test cases.

4. Resources Required

System Verification Test will require the following resources:

 a High Speed Advanced Color Module
 a Standard Speed Advanced Color Module
 a 9000 System dedicated to Advanced Color Module testing
 the latest version of the CIG DLL and the Advanced Color DLL
 a fully-loaded 9000, with a High Speed Advanced Color Module, for Endurance and Performance testing
 two SVT test personnel with at least 80% of his/her time available for this effort.

The following consumables are required in order to complete testing:

Item Description Quantity

1. Ribbons Tonal, black 1 ribbon
2. Ribbon Color 5 ribbons
3. Cards Blank / White MagStripe 1 case (4000 Cards)

5. Dependencies

In order to begin testing of the Advanced Color Module, the following needs to happen:
 an Advanced Color Module is available and is installed in a lab 9000
 the Common Image Generator DLL is available and is loaded on the 9000 Controller
 the CIG Entrance Test has been run
 a good portion (to be identified) of the UltraGraphics SVT has been run
 the required Image and Module Profiles have been created and are available

6. Entry Criteria

Page 4
 Advanced Color Module Test Plan
Revision 2.0 7/18/2017
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All entry criteria defined in Reference 1 (PEAQ) must be satisfied for entry into this test to occur. In addition, it is
expected that a good portion of the UltraGraphics SVT test cases will have been run, since they are being used to
check out the Common Image Generator.

7. Exit Criteria

All exit criteria defined in Reference 1 (PEAQ) must be satisfied for the completion of this test.

8. Test Tools

Various hardware and software test tools apart from the deliverable product are used to assist in the testing
process. These include:
• defect control reporting and tracking software (PVCS Tracker)
• hardware monitors

9. Owner

This test plan is owned and maintained by the Test/Tools Group.

10. Metrics

The status and progress of SVT will be recorded through the collection of various sets of data, and the Test Case
Matrices in Appendix B will regularly be updated with the status of each test case. Thus, at any time one can see
how many test cases have been attempted and, of those, how many have passed.
In addition, effort, size and defect data will be collected prior to and after product shipment. Once data from
enough projects has been collected, estimates of testing progress and duration will become more meaningful.

11. Test Plan Requirements Matrix

The Test Plan Requirements Matrix lists all the testable requirements for the Advanced Color Module, as
determined from Reference 2, and indicates which test cases verify those requirements. The complete test plan
requirements matrix is in Appendix A; the associated Test Case Matrix is in Appendix B.3.
