The Bentley AutoPIPE Acceptance Test Set (ATS) provides the user with a recommended procedure for validating the integrity of an installed AutoPIPE QA & Report subscription service version of the program. Therefore, an ATS is created for AutoPIPE QA & Reporting subscription releases only as a benefit of the Bentley AutoPIPE QA program.
Prior to any commercial or Quality Assured and Reporting (QA&R) subscription software release, the accuracy of the AutoPIPE program is verified by the execution of Alpha Tests. These Alpha Tests consist of a matrix of test systems designed to capture key feature attributes related to numeric and functional processing. Each set of test outputs is compared to a prepared set of expected results (i.e. hand calculations, some other well-established computer program, etc.), and evaluated for acceptance. The test matrix has been developed, verified, and documented per the requirements of the Bentley Software Quality Assurance Procedures (D/N# QAP).
The ATS includes input files and full documentation covering a sampling of test systems and results documented from the respective Alpha Tests version.
Although many program features are verified by the ATS, it should not be construed as being complete for testing of all program functions. Additional tests for specific program features are continually being developed. Until new test sets can be incorporated into this program, the end user (validation tester) must be responsible for creating suitable test systems, in addition to the ones supplied in this program.
NOTES:
1. AutoPIPE version installed MUST match the same version of the ATS being used. Otherwise the test is invalid.
