Testing with multiple labs
requires hardware testing to be
completed prior to software
testing can start. It should be
stated that hardware and
software functional testing can
be done in parallel, but both
must be completed prior to
integrated system testing.

Recommended change:
Testing of hardware can and
should be able to be conducted
in parallel. This should be
revised to state that parallel
testing is permitted. Referring
to section 1.4, this means that
item "d" and "g" can be done in
parallel, but both must be
completed before item "i" is
conducted.

Rationale:
There is no reason to require
completion of hardware testing
prior to software testing.
