| Certifying Statement | Using the ELD_Test_Plan_and_Procedure_All_Chapters_11_2_2016.pdf file as a guideline, We created an excel file where row represent all test from 4.1.1-1 to 4.10.2.-1 (As of this writing, the file is available for download at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/eld-test-procedures) The column used for the file are • Id: Identification of the test matching the specification section (eg.4.10.1.3) • Part: Sub-section defining specific test (number following the “-” character (eg:4.10.1.3-2) • Date: Date of the test • Start: Starting time of the test • Stop: Ending time of the test • Status: Define the test actual status (Either Passed of Facultative) • Tester: Initials of the individual who did the test • Comment: Extra detail left by the tester about the test. (Either justification or Explanation) • Definition: Brief explanation of the test goal All tests were made manually by the development team. When a test passed, all field would be filled by tester. When a test Failed a comment detailing the reason was inputted in the comment column to be addressed by the developer, said test were re-done from the start once the problem was deemed fixed. |
