Testing Procedures

During the developmental work of the final solution, several testing procedures need to be performed in order to be certain the solution won't fail when completed.

Testing Type: 3DS Max animation test
Testing Stage: 1
State of Solution: Beginning animation
Condition of Testing Stage: Controlled environment computer lab
Tools and Equipment required: Computer, 3DS Max program
Testing Procedures:
1. Mold an object on 3DS Max
2. Use time line to record movement
3. Verify the animation works as needed
