Testing your product

Testing your product.

The first testing should be to make sure your product meets the requirements of the specification.

Take each specification point in turn and list them showing what you did to test this point and how well your product meets it.

You might test some parts of your product for durability.

You might ask for the opinions of others

You might be able to approach an expert who can give you an evaluation of your product and design. (this expert may be a retailer or a designer you know)

All testing should be planned and the results recorded.

The best way to do this is in a table.

Example:

Function	Test	Pass/Fail	Comments
Stability	The candlestick should recover if tilted to 20 degrees
	The candle stick should hold a 50 mm diameter candle without falling over.
Good quality finish	Here should be no scratches on the acrylic visible to the eye.

Etc.
