Monitoring External Quality Assessment / Proficiency Testing Performance - Investigating the source of the problem.
In order to identify the source of the problem it is useful to be aware of the most common causes of poor EQA performance. Errors can occur at any
stage of the testing process however EQA is most concerned with detecting analytical errors i.e. errors that occur during the analysis of the sample.
Most analytical errors can be easily divided into three main areas; clerical errors, systematic errors and random errors. Systematic errors result in
inaccurate results that consistently show a positive or negative bias. Random errors on the other hand affect precision and result in fluctuations in
either direction.
Multidimensional Challenges and the Impact of Test Data ManagementCognizant
Test data management (TDM) is vital for quality assurance (QA) functions to best handle the many cha;l;enges associated with data security, release management, batch processing, data masking and fencing.

Test Data Management and Its Role in DevOpsTechWell
Do you often have to wait for the availability of the right test data to complete your testing? Now imagine you are using continuous integration and continuous delivery with agile and DevOps, and your test data is not available when you need it. This is a challenge and a bottleneck for the rollout of true DevOps. The key to efficient test data management (TDM) is to streamline and automate the test data management process to deliver the test data in minutes, use correct datasets for test improvement and coverage, and secure the test data automatically, enabling shorter test cycles. Join Sunil Sehgal as he shares how to automate test data creation by retrieving and storing data with a game-changing data model—The Logical Unit. Sunil shows how to look at data a different way—storing and retrieving it based on business logic, thus the name Logical Unit. Join Sunil as he explains how this allows the business to easily design TDM’s base schema according to their needs, rather than trying to fit them into a pre-defined structure.

The insights gained from health checks empower organizations to fine-tune their ERP setup, enhance data integrity, and optimize processes, ultimately maximizing the value derived from their NetSuite investment while minimizing operational risks.
Today’s analytics strategies must harness intelligence from increasingly distributed data environments, with important resources residing across the cloud, in your data center, and in connected devices sitting at the edge of your network. This means making sure you have a modern infrastructure in place that is optimized for analytics, scalable and able to grow over time. Implementing analytics is not a ‘once and done’ initiative – the type of analytics you need depends on business priorities and budgets. As your business evolves, so will your analytics environment.
HCLT Whitepaper: Landmines of Software Testing MetricsHCL Technologies
http://www.hcltech.com/enterprise-transformation-services/overview~ More on ETS
It is not only desirable but also necessary to assess the quality of testing being delivered by a vendor. Specific to software testing, there are some discerning metrics that one an look at, however it must be kept in mind that there are multiple factors that affect these metrics which are not necessarily under the control of testing team. The SLAs for testing initiatives can, and should, only be committed after a detailed understanding of the customer’s IT organization in terms of culture and process maturity and after analyzing the various trends among these metrics. This white paper lists some of the popular testing metrics and the factors one must keep in mind while reading in to their values.
Excerpts from the Paper
The estimates and planning for testing is based on certain assumptions and available historical data. However if there are higher number of disruptions (than anticipated) to testing in terms of environment unavailability or higher number of defects being found and fixed, the quality time available for testing the system would be less and hence higher number of defects slip through the testing stage. We must ensure that the data on defects on all subsequent stages are also available and are accurate. Production defects are usually handled by a separate Production support team and testing team is at times not given much insight in to this data. Also, since multiple projects and/or Programs would be going live, one after another, there are usually challenges in identifying which defects in Production can be attributed to which Project or Program. Inaccuracies in assignment would lead to inaccurate measure of test stage effectiveness.
We understand that the ERP packaged application testing needs time to deliver the best, however it is possible to enhance
productivity by accelerating various testing events throughout the testing life cycle.

From Data to Insights: How IT Operations Data Can Boost QualityCognizant
By leveraging highly-analyzed operational data - the voice of customers, machines and tests - quality assurance (QA) and IT groups can derive major gains in quality of apps and in user experience.
Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for execution in an order that attempts to increase their effectiveness in meeting some performance goal. Various goals are possible; one involves rate of fault detection | a measure of how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. An improved rate of fault detection during testing can provide faster feedback on the system under test, and let software engineers begin correcting faults earlier than might otherwise be possible.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

How to Improve Quality and Efficiency Using Test Data Analytics
1. HOW TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY
USING TEST DATA ANALYTICS
Discover 8 ways in our guide for advanced manufacturers
Do you perform advanced manufacturing in an industry such
as aerospace, automotive, medical devices or telecoms?
Is product testing part of your manufacturing process?
If you can answer yes to these questions, keep reading to
learn how test data analytics can enable many improvements.
tequraanalytics.com
2. 1. Better Yield Monitoring
Do you have an accurate view of right-first-time yield? How many times are
units being re-worked? Is there a hidden factory in your organization?
With test data analytics we can use serial numbers to easily track your yield
information. There’s no need to bring in extra data entry processes for your
operators; they simply test the products as they’ve always done. We then
collate the data into centralized storage and perform analysis on it to extract
the yield figures.
In high-value low-volume manufacturing, units are rarely scrapped,
so repeated re-work operations can be typical. If some of these re-work
operations aren’t visible to the management they become known as the
hidden factory. Test data analytics can give you a better insight into these
resource hungry activities, enabling you to take steps to reduce them
and improve your efficiency.
COPQ
(Cost of Poor Quality)
The hidden factory is
closely linked to COPQ,
which is a measure of
the costs associated
with producing defective
units. This costs include
extra labor, materials and
equipment, as well as lost
sales and reputation.
In many organizations production test is seen as an unfortunate necessity
for ensuring shipped products meet the required quality standards.
It’s very common to state that testing adds no value to an operation,
which can encourage organizations to minimize their activities around it.
Although there are clear reasons to perform testing, when we’re up against
a deadline to ship units, it’s very easy to see test as a hindrance and certainly
not as a powerful tool.
In this guide, our aim is to show by examples how production test can be
used for more than checking individual units are built correctly. Specifically
we’ll be looking at applying modern data analytics to test results, to provide
greater insights and enable improvements in an organization. We’ll show
how test can add value, by improving efficiency and reducing costs, provided
you make good use of the information it provides.

3. 2. Detect Equipment Issues
Is there a link between particular line equipment or measurement
instruments, and issues with production units? Do equipment maintenance
or calibration intervals need to be shortened? Could they be lengthened to
reduce down-time?
By looking at a handful of test reports it may be difficult to answer these
questions. However by aggregating across all your test data, long and
short-term trends can be revealed.
When the identity of line equipment or measurement instruments used
during production is logged, correlation between them and any issues can be
clearly identified. If we plot measurements over time we can spot drifts
that could indicate calibration issues and shifts that might show faults.
3. Focus Engineering Resources
Is your team prioritizing efforts on production issues that have the
biggest impact first? Do you have real-time visibility on the most
common failure types? Could you rank them in order of frequency?
All this information can be found in test data, but many organizations
don’t take full advantage of it.
With a management system for your data, real-time Pareto analysis can
reveal an up-to-date picture of your most common issues. The list is ordered
by frequency, so you can focus valuable resources on the issues with the
biggest impact first.

Issues are ranked by
frequency of occurrence,
with the most common
appearing on the left.
Whilst the bars show
frequency of individual
issues, the line gives a
cumulative percentage.

4. Identify Training Requirements
Do you know of particular teams or individuals who have process training
requirements? Could this be leading to units built or tested by them failing
more often? What are the most common failure types, which you need to
focus training efforts on first?
Operator, shift, or process line identifiers can be easily logged with
production test data. By correlating between unit failures and this
information, patterns can be revealed that may indicate training deficiencies
in particular areas. Following your training actions, you’ll be able to quantify
what improvements have occurred using the same procedure.
5. Long and Short Term Unit Tracking
What’s the test history of a unit that has been reworked or come back for
repair? What sub-assemblies or components were originally fitted and have
any been changed? How did it perform when it was first manufactured
compared to now? Can we prove a unit was compliant when it left the
factory?
By storing test results in a searchable archive you can easily retrieve all
this information and much more. For example: timelines for units can be
built-up, compliance history can be checked and the effect of component
aging monitored.

6. Quality Monitoring and
Process Improvement
Do you have an up-to-date picture on the short or long-term variability of
your products? Can you quickly get access to standard quality metrics such
as Cpk and Ppk? Can you quantify how that last process change has improved
product quality?
With real-time test data analytics you can get a snapshot of all this
information at the click of a button. Individual test reports won’t give you
the information, but by combining test data into a database it can all be
available instantly.
7. Check Supplier Performance
Is there a link between supplier changes and production issues? Are your
suppliers consistently maintaining the quality you expect?
With aggregated test data analytics you’ll have the information you need
to monitor your suppliers, and if needed, commence an issue investigation.
Any trends or shifts can be plotted as graphs ready for reports or meetings.
As a further step, for full traceability, you could even import your supplier’s
component test results and combine it with your own test data.

Cpk
Commonly known as a
process capability metric,
it represents how well
measured values fit within

8. Predict Prevent
Early Field Failures
You have a list of units that have failed in the field, but do they all have
something in common? The units were all originally in tolerance, but did
tell-tale signs of premature failure exist, hidden in the test results?
By using powerful Root Cause Analysis technology it is possible to identify
what these signs are, enabling you to improve your processes to prevent
them. Using the technology you’ll be able to identify fault regions,
which are a combination of test results ranges that could lead to premature
failure. With this valuable information your investigation team will know
where to focus, ensuring a quick resolution of the issue. Root Cause
Analysis can even cope when returns are reported as no fault found,
or customer fault reporting contains incorrect information.
How Do I Start Getting
All These Benefits?
If you’re already doing computer driven automated testing or are logging
test results to data files, you are half way there. The next stage is to
bring all the data together into a well-structured database, which can be
searched and sorted. Finally add in powerful analysis functions to extract
the information you need and smart data visualization to present it.
