3. Adding additional tests

  • By default, all tests marked Type A in the WFP specification will be included in any ILA for results capture
  • Depending on the contract, select tests may be required for testing in addition to the Type A tests - this can include:
    • Type B tests - common tests that can be included in testing for that specification
    • Ad hoc tests - requested for testing by WFP
  • Additional tests, can be inserted on the MIR itself, meaning they will automatically be added for each ILA created for that commodity

Watch the videos below to learn how to add Qualitative and Quantitative additional tests:
