Human Factors Test Suite for the 2007 VVSG Recommendations (VVSG-NI)

April, 2009

The documents available from this page represent a test suite for the human factors requirements in Part 1 Chapter 3 of the 2007 VVSG Recommendations to the EAC. When the 2007 VVSG Recommendations is approved by the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), the test suites will be available for use by voting system testing laboratories as a common basis for testing voting systems to determine conformance to the 2007 VVSG Recommendations.

Test suite reviewers are advised to first read and understand the 2007 VVSG Recommendations, especially the sections relevant to the test suites under review, before reviewing the test suites. A complete version of the 2007 VVSGRecommendations to the EAC can be found at http://www.eac.gov/vvsg.
