HOW TO PROVE AND ASSESS CONFORMITY OF GUM-SUPPORTING SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

N. Greif, H. Schrepf

Abstract

This paper describes how to prove and assess GUM conformity of software products which claim to offer a GUM-conform calculation of measurement uncertainties. To bridge the gap between the GUM guideline and the required test specification, an analysis of the GUM from the perspective of software testing is presented. Roughly, the benefit and the limits of the developed validation procedure are outlined.

Keywords
