Testing Issues
Issue:
Required Testing of Fire Alarm
and Elevator Interfacing
Fire Alarm and Elevator Testing :
Consistent Themes:
High percentage of failed tests (50 – 60%)
End-to-End testing rarely performed
Vulnerable to software/programming changes
Lack of enforcement
Lack of documentation
Costly to have both Elevator and Fire Alarm technicians
on site at the same time (and difficult to coordinate)
