Completing Workpapers
Workpapers are folders or work documents that serve as a basis for the controller in execution of the test.
They can form the starting point for tests, which contain points to be evaluated (forms containing questions/answers).
A workpaper comprises points to be checked on a given subject in the course of a test activity.
The controller can:
•
• create tests based on questions/answers created by the lead controller.
Creating Workpapers
To create a workpaper:
1. Open properties of the test activity.
2. Click the Characteristics tab.
3. In Workpapers section, click the New button.
The workpaper appears.
4. Enter the workpaper name.
Viewing and specifying workpapers
You can access workpapers:
• from the page of an activity.
• from the Work Program tab of a test.
Internal controllers execute the test steps defined on controls on samples.
To be able to complete test sheets, you must first:
Defining test questions
Questions used to generate test sheets have previously been defined at the level of controls. For more details, see chapter "Managing the Control Library", section "Preparing Control Tests" of the HOPEX Internal Control guide.
Specifying or modifying the sample size
The controller must specify the size of the test sample on the workpaper. This is the number of elements to be tested.
To specify sample size:
1. From the work program, open the properties of a workpaper.
2. Specify the Sample Size.
This is the size of the sample selected for testing.
By default, the value is inherited from the sample size specified on the control. For more details, see chapter "Managing the Control Library", section "Defining Test Methods" in the
HOPEX Internal Control guide.
Generating the test sample
Test samples are generated directly from information available on the control.
To generate samples:
From the work program tree, right-click a workpaper and select
Generate Test Sample.
Depending on the previously specified sample size, a message informs you of the number of elements that will be created in the test sample.
Generated test samples are available in the properties of the workpaper
Completing the generated test sheets
To view the test sheet:
1. Open the properties of the workpaper from the work program.
2. Select the Test Sheet tab.
This test sheet presents:
• in rows, the elements of the test sheet to be controlled
• in columns, the test steps
You can reply to the questions in the columns provided.
Test sheet questionnaires are distinguished from assessment questionnaires. For more details on assessment questionnaires, see chapter "Assessing Controls" in the
HOPEX Internal Control guide.
