Testing is essential in developing a successful complex engineering product. System
level integration and testing can use between 25 and 50% of development resources.
External factors such as legislation and customer requirements drive essential testing
whilst internal factors such company experience, affordability and organizational
practice frame the overall testing plan. The main objective of this paper is to understand
how testing is integrated into the product development process and how different types
of testing are scheduled across the stages of product development. The paper reports
a case study in a diesel engine company where the balance of virtual and physical
testing is a key concern in reducing design time and costs. The importance of dependencies
across components, subsystems and tests is highlighted and a model using Design Structure
Matrices proposed. Of particular interest are requirements analysis and FMEA stages
where testing is planned and resourced Integrating physical and virtual testing is
more than process optimization of time and cost. It contributes to recasting the design
process in response to change, both in new customer requirements and contingently
in design changes which arise during product development. |
