3. DESCRIPTION/PURPOSE
The Test Report documents the results of a test and the subsequent data analysis. It is used to identify and evaluate discrepancies between expected and actual test results.
References: SOW paragraph 3.2
Contents: The Test Report must be prepared in Contractor-specified format. The Test Report must include the following:
The identification of the specific test.
The scope of the report in terms of time and activities covered.
The purpose and scope of the test:
o The reference to the applicable Test Plan and Test Procedure.
o The description of the test article including test configuration. Reference may be made to the applicable test procedure sections.
o A list of all test equipment, including manufacturer, model, calibration status, and serial number. Reference may be made to the applicable test procedure sections or the official Test Log, Log Entry #s, and Log pages.
o A list of all system, test, and DR&A software utilized identifying title, release level, and release date.
A summary of test results. Include a test matrix identifying test plan and procedure sections, the applicable “raw” and reduced results obtained from them/
Relative to the test matrix, provide a complete description of any recommended, planned, or actual regression test activities, which purpose is to mitigate the identified vulnerabilities.
Identify any item remaining open after completion of test conduct and analysis from:
o Log Book Entries; test de-briefing minutes; test matrix deficiencies (above).
Detailed Test Results. List the results of the test based on the data collected during the test.
Amplifying information (e.g., diagrams) should be included.
Detail Data Analysis. Detailed data analysis results and a complete description of post-test

data analysis activities must be provided and linked with the plan and procedure sections which generated the identified vulnerability.
The test report must contain a certification that the test results are authentic, accurate, current, and in accordance with related requirements and test plans. Include names of Contractor and
Government personnel present during the test.
