Comment :  Be sure that the guidelines require a volume test before implementing a software upgrade to a voting system or device.

The volume test should mirror all the functions used and number of votes equal to the largest precinct in the state or jurisdiction. With software changes to one part of a system, there can be unexpected consequences to other functions.
