In/Out Quality Test Setup And Analysis

Overview

The In/Out or Pass/Fail test is a quality testing method. Often panelists are invited to come throughout a day when they are available to evaluate samples. The samples might be prepared for them ahead of time, or they are expected to take the samples off the production line, etc. This test is rapid in nature - the panelists are expected to simply indicate whether the sample is in or out, whether it passes or fails specific criteria.

Please watch the video below for more details on how to create an In/Out (or Pass/Fail) test and then in the video below that how to analyze the data.
