Test Planning and Management Flashcards

What does a test sequence priority help a technician decide?

Answer: The order tests are performed to avoid affecting later results

Sequencing ensures earlier tests don't compromise the validity of later measurements.

Why should as-found and as-left readings both be recorded?

Answer: To document condition before and after any adjustment

As-found shows the initial state and as-left shows the condition after corrective work.

A lockout/tagout plan is part of test management to:

Answer: Ensure energy sources are isolated and cannot be re-energized accidentally

LOTO isolates hazardous energy so equipment cannot be unexpectedly energized during work.

Which is the best reason to review manufacturer specifications during planning?

Answer: To set correct test voltages and acceptance limits

Manufacturer specs define proper test parameters and pass/fail thresholds for the equipment.

Resource allocation in a large test project mainly involves:

Answer: Assigning the right personnel and equipment to tasks

Resource allocation matches qualified people and proper equipment to the planned tasks.

What is a key benefit of a pre-job briefing before field testing?

Answer: Aligning the crew on roles, hazards, and procedures

A pre-job briefing ensures everyone understands their role, the hazards, and the procedure.

Contingency planning in a test schedule accounts for:

Answer: Unexpected failures or delays needing rework or extra time

Contingency planning reserves time and resources for unforeseen problems or retests.
