supplies. The contractor will pre-ship a CB test kit prior to FAT. The sponsor has a test
kit as well which can be used as a spare.
The following test procedure documents are also required:
• Cherry Blossom FAT Procedures (CDRL 14a) [and “FAT Procedures FIELD”]
• Cherry Blossom FAT Verification And Validation Report (CDRL 15a)
• Cherry Blossom Cherry Tree Upgrade Test Procedures (CDRL 14b)
• Cherry Blossom Cherry Tree Upgrade Test Procedures (CDRL 15b)
3.1.5 General Setup
The setup procedure is described in Cherry Blossom FAT Procedures (CDRL 14a).
Note that the testers at the non-attributable site use the “FAT Procedures FIELD”
document, while the testers at the sponsor site use the Cherry Blossom FAT
Procedures (CDRL 14a).
3.1.6 General Cleanup
When the tests are completed, all hardware is powered-down/disconnected, and
returned to the CB test kit.
3.1.7 System Verification and Validation Report
Immediately following the FAT/IV&V, the Cherry Blossom System Verification and
Validation Report (CDRL 15) will be completed by the contractor and delivered to the
sponsor (see 2.2).
3.1.8 Test Problems
Should problems arise during the FAT/IV&V, they will be categorized accordingly, with
the following actions taken:
• Configuration Problem – A problem can be resolved with a configuration
change which does not require a rebuild of software. This problem will be fixed
by the contractor on site, allowing FAT/IV&V to continue.
• Sponsor Network Problem – A problem requires the configuration/modification
of the sponsor network. This problem will be fixed by the sponsor (potentially with
the help of the contractor) on site, allowing FAT/IV&V to continue. If the problem
is severe and requires significant time, the COTR will advise.
• Software Problem – A problem cannot be resolved without a rebuild of software.
The contractor will determine the schedule impact on the FAT/IV&V, and if the
problem is severe and requires significant time, the COTR will advise.
• Hardware Problem – A piece of test hardware is faulty, and the problem cannot
be resolved without new hardware. The sponsor has a spare CB test kit to
mitigate this problem. If a spare is not available or also not operational, the
contractor will determine the schedule impact on the FAT/IV&V, and if the
problem is severe and requires significant time, the COTR will advise.
