Test Matrix Manager
Plan qualification coverage once — keep it correct for the life of the project.
What it does
The Test Matrix Manager defines what will be tested, at which stage, against which requirements — FAT, SAT, commissioning, IQ, OQ, PQ — and keeps that plan honest as the project evolves. It replaces the sprawling coverage spreadsheets that only one person on the team truly understands, and that fall apart the moment that person goes on leave.
Before and after Test Matrix Manager
- Coverage planned in a giant spreadsheet only its author can navigate
- Duplicate testing between FAT, SAT and site qualification
- No fast answer to “what is left to test on this system?”
- Coverage defined per system and stage, visible to the whole team
- Leverage upstream testing deliberately instead of re-testing by default
- Remaining scope per system, live, at any moment
Capabilities
Inside the module
- Matrix planning across FAT, SAT, commissioning, IQ, OQ and PQ stages
- Requirement-driven coverage with automatic gap detection
- Deliberate leverage of vendor and factory testing with justification captured
- Live completion status per cell, system and stage
- Re-planning with history when strategy or scope changes
Direct answers
Test Matrix Manager — common questions
Can we leverage FAT results to reduce site testing?
Yes, deliberately and defensibly. The matrix records where upstream testing is leveraged and why, with the justification attached — so reduced site scope is a documented strategy, not an undocumented shortcut.
What does the matrix tell an executive?
Rolled up, it becomes the verification burn-down for the whole facility: what is planned, what is complete, what remains per system. It is the factual basis behind every startup-date conversation.
