In this week's simulation, we were given a failed design verification test and tasked with redesigning the test to find out why it failed and how to fix the test. In the scenario given, there was a single factor that impacted the results of the test and modifying that factor was feasible within the device specifications and allowed for the test to be run successfully. However this is an ideal scenario that does not always occur. Sometimes verification tests fail not due to the test design but due to the actual device being tested. How, as a project manager, do you deal with that type of failure? Do you have to push the project timeline back if a redesign of the device is needed? Do you confer with the team developing specifications and see if the specs can be modified? How do you balance keeping the project on track and passing verification?
