or-model-test-plan

Plan how to test an optimisation model so its plans can be trusted in live operations. Use when someone has built, or is building, a linear programme, MIP, scheduler, router, allocator or other solver-based planning tool and asks how to test or validate it, how to know the model is right, what test cases or regression tests to write, why a plan looks wrong, how to check that business rules are really enforced, how to run the model alongside the current manual process, or how to get planners and managers to sign off on model output before go-live.
