Dashboard Purpose

The V&V Engineer Dashboard is designed to support the verification and validation role in aerospace systems development. It surfaces:
  • Test execution tracking — Current status of all test cases across pass/fail/not-run states
  • Verification coverage — Requirements-to-test-case traceability at each requirement level (system, design)
  • Traceability gaps — Unverified requirements and test cases without linked requirements
  • Environmental qualification status — Test facility and equipment readiness
This dashboard complements the Design Engineer Dashboard (focused on design requirements and characteristics) and the Safety Engineer Dashboard (focused on failure analysis and risk control).

Design Reqs (desReq)15640%9 unverified
Total462554.3%21 gaps
Verification coverage = (requirements with linked testCase) ÷ (total requirements at that level). A requirement is considered “verified” if it has at least one linked test case work item. Design-level requirements have lower coverage because some design requirements are verified through subsystem/component-level DFMEA analysis rather than explicit test cases.

Test Execution Summary

The Test Execution Summary displays real-time test results aggregated across all test specifications: Key Indicators:
  • Pass Rate (84.8%) — Percentage of test cases with passing results
  • Failed Tests (2 cases) — Tests that failed most recent run; typically requiring design change or test procedure revision
  • Pending Tests (3 cases) — Test cases not yet executed; blocking certification readiness
  • Test Effort Remaining — Estimated hours to complete pending and failed test cases (tracked in test case estimate field)
Visual Status:
  • 🟢 Pass (≥95% pass rate) — Test suite is production-ready
  • 🟡 Warning (80–95% pass rate) — Some failures; rework in progress
  • 🔴 Fail (<80% pass rate) — Multiple failures; testing cycle incomplete
Current project status: 🟡 Warning (84.8% pass rate, 2 failed cases, 3 pending).

Verification Coverage Analysis

The Verification Coverage Analysis shows requirements-to-test-case traceability completeness: Coverage by Requirement Level: diagram Gap Analysis:

Total Verification Gaps22——
Aerospace certification standards (ARP 4754A, DO-178C, DO-254) require ≥95% requirements-to-test traceability before design release. Current project is at 54.3% — 41% gap remains.

​
Environmental Qualification Status

Environmental qualification testing validates design performance under deployed environmental conditions (temperature, vibration, humidity, altitude per DO-160G):
Test CategoryStatusFacilityResponsibleTarget Date

Humidity CyclingNot StartedEnvironmental Lab ATest Engineer2026-04-05

Environmental test results and facility availability should be verified in the project’s Environmental Qualification PowerSheet or test specification documents. Schedule dates may shift based on facility demand and test resource availability.

Integration with Other Dashboards

The V&V Engineer Dashboard is one of five role-specific dashboards in the Aerospace Safety Solution:
Each dashboard includes a Quick Links sidebar with links to all other role dashboards. Use the sidebar to context-switch between different engineering perspectives without returning to the home page.
