The Simulated User Disclosure
Use this when a test result came from anyone other than the unit that will fight with the system. Attach the disclosure to the result. Worked in “The Farther a Test Is From the Fight, the Less It Proves.”
This form is adapted from You Are Not the User. In this book, “UAT Distance” means Distance to the Fight, and the absent conditions include the fight’s own: jamming, fatigue, night, weather, degraded communications, and real volume.
The Simulated User Disclosure: attach it to every simulated UAT result.
| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
Who simulated which user role |
|
Their UAT Distance |
|
What they know that the real user wouldn’t |
|
What the real user knows that they don’t |
|
Conditions that were absent (volume, interruptions, real data, exceptions) |
|
The decision this result may support |
|
The decision this result may not support |
Always fill in “may not support.” If nobody can, nobody has checked what a range test can’t tell you about a rotation.
