Miscellaneous but important notes Who are valid test partners? In general, one organization cannot have two systems acting as test partners The whole purpose is to test with other participants You will be asked how “Do we really need three partners”? Do not answer this question. Send them to talk to Lynn, Steve, Eric Poiseau, Paul Sherman There is no “partial credit” on a test instance You cannot pass system A and fail B. For a test, all pass or all fail.
Miscellaneous but important notes Once you claim a test, maintain ownership and finish evaluation You might have to defer and come back Do not claim someone else’s test unless you discuss with them You might have observed something and want to follow up. Another monitor might not be aware. Participants are required to be cooperative. Noon on Friday is a dead stop No results are accepted after noon Friday No test instances are evaluated after noon Friday
