Test plan, operator effect
Experience/Advice 
The test plan should include procedures to minimise the operator effect, such as memorization of test target locations. In order to reduce memorization of test target locations a certain operator should preferably only cover a particular test lane once a day and not start the following day with the test lane processed as ultimate lane the day before.
