Non-SIT LDSO Qualification Testing Evidence Template 
 This document should be used when capturing evidence for Non-SIT LDSO Qualification Testing. When you execute a set of test case steps you must capture evidence for those test steps in this document with annotations, to then be uploaded to ADO. More information is available in the Day in the Life document, linked above.

Non-SIT LDSO Qualification Testing Test Completion Report Template

SIT Qualification Testing Work-Off Plan Template

The SIT and QT Work Off Plan template has been published and is available below.

The purpose of template is to capture any work-off items where QT requirements cannot successfully be demonstrated through QT.  A completed template should provide sufficient information to Code Bodies and DIP Manager so they are able to assess the impact of proposed items. Work-off items should be in line with the QT exit criteria set out in the Qualification Approach and Plan plus associated Annexes as well as Code Bodies' and DIP Manager’s Assessment Criteria, Qualification Approach & Plan and Risk Register.  The completed template should be submitted alongside a Programme participant's QT completion report. Please note, providing early sight of work-off items is highly encouraged.  Please note that a SIT and QT TesPlan adds risk to your Qualification being approved by Code Bodies and DIP Manager in your planned timeframes, it is therefore strongly recommended that these items are resolved during testing rather than as a work-off item.
