The focus of Chapter 4 was on the planning and definition phase of PT while this chapter provides an in-depth view of the test design phase. All the necessary inputs for PT are captured under the test definition phase. These inputs are the building blocks for the design phase of PT.

The next phase, that is, the build phase, commences after the completion of the design phase. Design provides the guidelines, but the build phase really implements the design so that execution of the test can be carried out later. The first activity in the build phase is to plan the various activities for testing. However, building a comprehensive test plan is as important as executing the test itself. Apart from the test plan, testing the build phase also focuses on setting up a proper test environment, test schedule, and testing processes.

Aim. To design and deliver an activity-based costing model within a non-admitted prisoner healthcare setting. Method. Key phases from the NSW Health clinical redesign methodology were utilised: diagnostic, solution design and implementation. Results. The diagnostic phase utilised a range of strategies to identify issues requiring attention in the development of the costing model. The solution design phase conceptualised distinct ‘building blocks’ of activity and cost based on the speciality of clinicians providing care. These building blocks enabled the classification of activity and comparisons of costs between similar facilities. The implementation phase validated the model. Conclusions. The project generated an activity-based costing model based on actual activity performed, gained acceptability among clinicians and managers, and provided the basis for ongoing efficiency and benchmarking efforts.

The core theme of the previous chapters is that a methodical and structured approach to PT is rather necessary right from the early phases of the development cycle. This will ensure predictability and controllability of application performance in practice. The preparatory activities associated with PT (Figure 4.1) are of great importance and are distributed over the life cycle phases of requirement elicitation and analysis, High Level Design (HLD), Detail Level Design (DLD), and several sets of system builds. These activities help define and provide continuity between the high level requirements for application performance, strategies for testing, a framework for designing the tests (see Barber, 2004), and artifacts used to plan and carry out tests. This chapter contains a detailed consideration of the definition phase while Chapters 5 and 6 highlight issues related to the design and build phases associated with the preparatory activities as shown in Figure 4.1.

Firstly, this paper expounds the concept of the safety risk assessment of large-scale railway passenger station. Then this paper introduces the overall process of safety risk assessment of passenger station, included assessment preparation phase, factors definition phase and Risk analysis phase. At last, as Beijing South Railway Station as an example, it expounds how to assess the risks and put forward some suggestions.
