Agreement.
2 TEST REQUIREMENTS
.The following tests have to be performed before the system as a whole can be approved for operational services
1. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
All instruments, AWS stations and MIPS shall go through a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at the Contractors facilities. The components
and the system as a whole shall be tested in the same configuration that shall be installed in the field on the observation sites. If ‘real’
data input is not available, it shall be provided by a simulation system. Factory Acceptance (FA) shall follow FAT if the all requirements
as defined in the Requirement Specifications document are met.
2. Provisional Site Acceptance Test (PSAT)
After delivery and installation of the AWS stations and the MIPS, the PSAT shall be performed for the AWS including instruments, and
for the MIPS (including display systems) separately. Provisional Site Acceptance (PSA) shall follow PSAT if the requirements as defined
in the Requirement Specifications document are met.
3. Final Site Acceptance Test (FSAT)
After the AWS’ with instruments and the MIPS passed their PSA, a reliability test shall be performed. This test shall in general take more
time (1 week to 3 months in total), in which the system as a whole shall work uninterruptedly without critical failures, to demonstrate its

Defect classification
In the event a test case within a Test should fail, a report on the defects shall be prepared. To maximise test case results and to minimise
problems attributable to defects, all reports on defects will be classified as follows:
IFU :Status 1.0 :.Rev Quality Control & Tests Plan
12 of 8 :Page BAZ-KSA-QAC-034 :.Document No
Category A: major defect;
Category B: average defect;
Category C: minor defect;
Category D: test error;
Category E: dispute concerning an incident.
All categories are described below:
Category A: major defect
Category A defects are defects which adversely affect the system components’ or system’s active operation to such an extent that,
unavoidable, a major part of the system can no longer be used.
Category B: average defect
Category B defects are localised problems, which do not make the system components’ or system’s active operation impossible
(non-serious errors, which do not seriously affect the system). Category B defects shall be no reason to discontinue the test.
Category C: minor defect
Category C defects are related to appearance and do not have serious adverse effects on the system components or system, and its
active operation could continue without eliminating the defects (such as unclear error messages, errors in reports and screen
formats). Category C defects shall be no reason to discontinue the test.
Category D: test error
Category D defects are due to errors in the test method and/or test data, errors occurring while carrying out the test case, or errors
in expected results. In the event of a conflict between Contractor and Purchaser, parties shall discuss about the validity of the test
case, and if the error shall be reclassified into Category E. Category D defects shall be no reason to discontinue the test.
IFU :Status 1.0 :.Rev Quality Control & Tests Plan
12 of 9 :Page BAZ-KSA-QAC-034 :.Document No
Category E: dispute concerning an incident
Category E defects are defects for which Contractor and Purchaserfail to reach an agreement on classification. If the parties fail to
reach an agreement within 5 (five) working days, the issue will be submitted to an independent person to be appointed, after due
consulting, by the parties involved. The decision by the appointed person will be final and binding for both parties.
It is emphasised that any Category B, C, D or E defects occurring during a test shall not result in the discontinuation of that test. In the event of a
Category A defect, both parties will have the right to decide independently whether or not to stop the test. In this case, a new date will be set,
agreed to by both parties, on which the test shall be repeated. With the exception of Category A errors, during re-testing only those test cases that
have not yet been successfully completed will be exercised.
At the end of each testing day, there will be a meeting in which Contractor and Purchaserwill record the findings of that day. This report shall be
.approved by both parties
