The success criteria values for testing the ski’s functions were constructed due to observations mode at the snow mobile expo visited this past October 2014 in Puyallup, WA. This technology is so new an unexplored that it was hard coming up with requirements for the project, but these requirements were made so that the project had to hit certain marks to pass.
The success criteria for the test ride was chosen for optimization of how the bike would handle and ride. If the project passed all the tests then it would’ve signified that the bike would be easy to ride and anyone could hop on the bike and try it out for themselves. The tasks are basic things that you would like a dirt bike, snowmobile, or quad to achieve while riding in lesser than optimum conditions.
Function Tests
Test Ride
The project did not pass all the tests to our expectations, but did well for the conditions that it was given. If the testing process could’ve taken place during the winter quarter of the school year or if there was access to snow during the spring quarter then the opportunity for a more accurate test would be present. Although, the ski didn’t pass every test, there were no failures within any of the components. Every component/part remained intact after testing had finished. Also, all the hardware holding the components together stayed in good working order.
