Capability Pattern: Test and Evaluate [within Scope]
This capability pattern covers the activities required for testing within a particular scope. The scope could be a particular level or type of test, such as Function Test. It may also limited in scope to the components, or portions thereof, that have been implemented or are planned to be implemented during the iteration.

Usage
Usage Notes[within Scope] in the name of this pattern indicates that the activities within this task are intended to be bounded by a particular scope, such as a particular level or type of test, for example.  This pattern is intended to be used multiple times, once for each appropriate 'scope', for example, once for each level or type of test scheduled for an iteration, such as performance test, functional test of component X, system test.
