ITP - Inspection Test Plans
- Lisa Robb
Overview
An Inspection Test Plan (ITP) is a document that outlines the steps and procedures for the inspection and testing of a particular product or project. It is a comprehensive plan that includes all the necessary details about the testing and inspection process, such as the type of tests to be conducted, the equipment to be used, the criteria for acceptance or rejection of the product, and the frequency of testing.
An ITP is typically developed by a quality control team or a project manager to ensure that the product or project meets the required standards and specifications. The plan helps to identify any potential issues or defects in the product or project, and it provides a framework for corrective actions to be taken if any problems are identified.
ITPs are commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, and engineering. They are essential for ensuring that products and projects meet the required quality standards and specifications and that they are safe for use.
Benefits:
Time Savings & Process Simplification: Streamline test planning, data entry, and report generation. Minimize paperwork and administrative tasks through digital automation.
Accuracy: Ensure accurate data collection, reducing errors and the need for re-inspections.
Collaboration: Facilitate smooth communication and collaboration among stakeholders, reducing delays and misunderstandings.
Real-Time Insights: Provide real-time visibility into inspection progress, enabling quicker decision-making.
Efficient Reporting: Automate report generation, making it easy to create comprehensive ITP reports.
Getting Started
The ITP application aids as a source of defaults for Tasks and Activities that commonly are required for ITP process documentation.
Tasks:
Tasks are used to Group related activities
Activities:
Define the details of the activity and evidence required to demonstrate completion. These set the defaults on the ITP form when created on a project.
Options (for Activities)
Define the Responsible Party list and Action Point list in the options menu, used in the activity configuration.

After the configuration of your templates and ITP module is completed, you can proceed to create ITP’s from a project.

Populate required form fields.
Select ITP Tasks.
ITP Activities will auto-select from your pre-defined ITP module configuration. Add or remove activities as needed.
Click “Commit Listed Activities.”
Selected ITP activities will auto-populate the ITP Activity subforms into the ITP form.
Submit the Inspection Test Plan form. The form name will be appended with the selected Task name.
2. Creating ITC’s from the ITP
If ITC’s are being used, you can navigate to the activity subform that you just created from the ITP. There is a button “Manage ITC’s” that will help you select the ITC template and the Quantity if ITC to generate.
click activity
Click “Manage ITC’s”
Select the ITC Template, Quantity and click “create” to generate the ITC’s on the project
Once created, you will see the ITC’s as a draft linked to the project
View the draft ITCs linked to the project, with % completion visible in the pop-up window and on the form.
3. Re-Ordering ITP Activities
In some scenarios, you may need to re-order activities in an ITP (Inspection Test Plan) to accommodate additional activities or update the sequencing in the ITP Booklet. To do this, follow these steps:
