For the Paper Channel, either image or paper test material is utilized that is simulated yet realistically representative and statistically significant. Business rules such as household relationships or age and date of birth are engineered into this next generation of test material for automated testing of system work flow processes. This test material has pre-determined answers with the ability to create and test for known errors, both for image processing and collecting data from the image file.
For the Telephone Channel, a Census Digital Test Deck® is created in the correct file format for system load or stress testing or is transfered to a nuetral household group sheet for reading to a telephone operator for independent establishment of error rates and creation of the ability to compare errors between channels.
For Internet or Personnel Computer input channels a Census Digital Test Deck® is typically large data files for system load and stress testing, creating the ability to also independently establishment and improve error rates while creating the ability to compare errors between channels.
