8.8.6 Output Specification
Specify all the outputs and features (for example, response time) required of the test items. Provide the
exact value (with tolerances) for each required output or feature. Specify the mode or state the system
should be in after the test.
8.8.7 Pass/Fail Criteria
Identify acceptable or unacceptable ranges of data or the output of some test tool ??” typically the results
of a comparison between a test-expected-result file, and a test-actual-result file, and is best expressed in
