Q. How soon will the ATS be ready for AutoPIPE version xxx?


Answer:

It takes a considerable amount of time and effort to produce an Automated Test Set: new model creation, new supporting Mathcad's, updated documentation, updated software, Certifications, etc.. Therefore not every AutoPIPE version released  will have an associated ATS. The QA manager will send out notification to all QA subscribers when the ATS and documentation are completed, typically 1-3 months after a new version of AutoPIPE has been released. 

Furthermore, the ATS software version must match the AutoPIPE software version mentioned in the documentation. You CANNOT and must not mix the versions of these applications as it will void the test. As an example: cannot use AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.00.19 to run AutoPIPE ATS 09.05.01.02. 

QA&R subscription users are urged to contact the QA Software Quality Manager for details on estimated time of arrival for their software shipments. They are tasked with performing all the testing and distribution of all software to QA&R user.
