What this topic covers
Define what is inspected, when, by whom, with which method and against what criteria.
Core testing ideas
Plans connect drawings, specifications, lots, operations and hold points with verification activities.
Method capability and access should match the characteristic being evaluated.
Acceptance criteria should come from approved specifications rather than improvised field judgment.
Measurement and method limits
A result is only meaningful when the characteristic, units, method and acceptance requirement are clear.
Evidence and traceability
Traceability and documentation let later reviewers understand what was tested and with which equipment and method.
Using the result
Inspection plans should focus effort on meaningful characteristics instead of collecting data without a decision path.
