Acceptance Testing and Cooperative Testing Sample Clauses
The "Acceptance Testing and Cooperative Testing" clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for verifying that deliverables meet agreed-upon specifications before final acceptance. It typically outlines the process for conducting tests, the roles of both parties in preparing and executing these tests, and the criteria for passing or failing. For example, the client may be required to review and test the product within a set timeframe, while the provider must assist and address any issues identified. This clause ensures that both parties collaborate to confirm the deliverable's quality and functionality, reducing disputes and clarifying the steps needed for formal acceptance.
Acceptance Testing and Cooperative Testing. 2.1.11.1 Acceptance testing and cooperative testing will be provided as appropriate to establish that the Loop meets the standards set forth in TR73600.

Acceptance Testing and Cooperative Testing. 2.11.3.1. BellSouth will dispatch a technician to provide a short on the loop to allow Z-Tel to test the loop in any manner they require. Normal acceptance testing is not billable in those instances where a new Loop is being installed and where BellSouth determines a dispatch is required. Z-Tel may request a dispatch to perform testing that BellSouth determines is not required for provisioning the service but will be charged for additional labor and or additional cooperative acceptance testing as outlined in the FCC #1 tariff. BellSouth and Z-Tel will mutually agree on a scheduled date and time for this additional testing to occur. BellSouth will call Z- Tel with the technician on the line to perform the above mentioned tests and Z-Tel will within 15 minutes begin testing with the technician.
