Described herein is a plan for independently testing the new IVP against the requirements stated in Appendix B of the document above. The requirements will be referred to by number within this document, so it is recommended any reader have a copy of the requirements on hand. Prerequisites The primary prerequisite before testing the software is the presence of an RFC archive database populated with test data. The test performed will require a consistent canned set of data to work with, so that the correct results can be identified and compared against captured screenshots and baseline output files. In order to run the test, the tester will be responsible for the following: Installation of the test archive database, and what settings for environment variables and apps-defaults tokens are needed to access the database. Installation of the test data package and knowledge of the directory where the package is located. Having a copy of the test procedure. General Test Steps The following programs must be tested: Vfyruninfo Editor: The editor must be tested to determine if a location can be added and removed from the table. A location is defined by the lid, pe, dur, extremum, and forecast type source, and has associated with it an active flag (yes for active, no for not active), a national flag, a list of sensor preferences (observed type
