Cableizer is continuously and automatically validating its simulation results against accredited values from publications and data sheets of cable suppliers. All validation is collected in a comprehensive test suite, which allows us to ensure that modifications to our code do not affect the simulation results unexpectedly. The test suite is also a measure to track our performance compared to our references:
| Date | Number of tests | Maximum deviation | Standard deviation |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 2015 | 76 | < 10 % | 2.1 % |
| February 2015 | 108 | < 5 % | 1.4 % |
| February 2015 | 133 | < 5.4 % | 1.4 % |
| March 2015 | 144 | < 5.3 % | 1.7 % |
In January 2015, all calculated ampacities have been within 10% of the values from our references. Approximately 68% of our simulation results (one standard deviation) have been within ± 2% of the reference values. Deviations can be due to the following reasons (non exhaustive list):
