A more detailed checklist

The first three generic questions of the general format can be made more specific to help the reviewer focus and be thourough:

  1. Does the product meet the relevant standard?
  2. Is the product in accordance with the input?
  3. Is the product usable for the person who has to continue with it?

The fourth question can hardly be specified any further. It is about the added value of the product in itself. If a test specification is made based on the requirements and the above three questions have already been answered with 'yes'. Even then, in the specifications, bad choices can be made or techniques can be applied that are not usefull in that situation. This question is therefore less easy to answer by means of a systematic approach of criteria.
