Success testing (a.k.a. test‐to‐pass procedures) is the basic preliminary testing designed to verify conformance to requirements. By themselves, these compliance‐verification tests do not provide total functionality/software validation because they do not identify the true limits and capabilities of the product or identify many types of faults. (Validation procedures for these type issues are covered in the section “Fault Tolerance and Robustness Testing.”) However, just as one would not test a new vehicle at top speed until validation of basic steering, braking, and acceleration functions is achieved, these preliminary tests are vital first steps in the total validation process. The following procedures are recommended for incorporation in the success‐testing portion of the software validation plan.
