h1. Tests and results

The aim of this part is to demonstrate the proper functioning of the tool. That is, the explanation of how we have shown that the results of all the link budget operations are correct, as well as that the tool is understandable for a user who has never used before.

For that purpose, different test with other students have been carried out. Thus, it has been possible to identify the difficulties of understanding of some aspects. For instance, we have identified some hesitation to understand well what refers each input parameter, and so we could take steps to correct it, and add more explanation in the popup help, or add some diagrams blocks in some tabs in order to have an extra visual aid of the correct placement of each parameter in the process.

h2. Checking results

Below are shown the different verification carried out in each tab in order to verify the correct computation implementation.
