This document contains Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) for both the prototype and production QA.  The prototype plan is designed to ensure the design meets with the specified [[Requirements Document|requirements]].  The QA plan is designed to ensure kits meet quality requirements before being shipped to a customer.

Prototype test and evaluation cover the full range of ground station functions.  This includes satellite tracking, signal acquisition, "space tweet" decoding.  Additionally, the assembly process will be tested in later prototypes.  Note, test numbers correspond to the requirement the test verifies (for example, Test 1.1.2 verifies requirement TR 1.1.2).  TEMP was developed at the "#EngineerSpeak Hangout on Dec 5, 2013":https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FUgkR5x6Q_Ntf4Is3PuO9rHZiuVqsDXi9DWzXj2cbBs/pub.
