Quality assurance in PASLINK tests

The operation of an outdoor test site requires very substantial efforts with respect to investments, maintenance, calibration and training staff. The existing documents dealing with quality procedures in principle guarantee that a good quality level is achieved at all test sites. This paper describes the existing quality manuals and the software tool PASLINKIT developed in the scope of IQ-TEST Thematic Network to make all this pertinent quality documents more practicable and feasible. Rather than trying to simplify the procedures that have been in place, which were considered as the minimum acceptable for ensuring quality testing, PASLINKIT is a user-friendly tool to manage quality control at test sites.
