Description
Why it is useful
The formative evaluation test protocol is part of the documentation which is recommended by IEC 62366-1:2015 + AMD:2020. Formative evaluation can be virtually any kind of human-centered assessment of the interface of a medical device. This template focuses on formative evaluation carried out using testing as the method.
The formative evaluation test protocol template is designed so that you can easily use its structure for your summative evaluation test protocol as well. If you do so, replace all appearances of “formative evaluation” by “summative evaluation”.
