ISTA 4AB Simulated Performance Testing – User Defined

Here is an overview of how to create and use user defined test scripts:

1. Define the test conditions: User defined test scripts can be created to simulate specific transportation and handling conditions that the product may encounter. Test conditions should be defined based on the package size, destination, intended mode of transportation, and expected handling during transportation.

2. Determine the testing parameters: The testing parameters will depend on the individual test conditions. Parameters may include the duration of the test, the type of vibration or shock to be simulated, and the direction of the force applied. These parameters should be defined clearly in the test script.

3. Create the test script: Once the test conditions and parameters have been defined, the next step is to create the test script. The script should include instructions on how to set up the testing equipment, how to perform the test, and how to collect data during the test.

4. Test the package: The package should be tested using the custom test script, and the performance should be evaluated against the specified pass/fail criteria.

5. Record the results: The results of the test should be recorded and analyzed to determine the performance of the package under the specific test conditions.

By using user defined test scripts, it is possible to simulate specific transportation and handling conditions that may not be covered in standard testing procedures. This can help to identify and address potential issues before the product goes into the market, ultimately improving the overall quality and safety of the product.
