确定为“Y2K”（2000年过渡和相关日期特定问题）验证定义用户特定测试计划的最佳实践。可能出现Y2K故障的系统元素和功能的分类。用户可定制的测试计划和测试场景模板，用于检测有缺陷（与Y2K有关）的系统元素和功能。用户可定制的方法和流程，用于确定各种补救、验证和报告方法的测试影响。这些做法并非以机械或死记硬背的方式适用:本文件的用户在应用其建议时必须进行重要的工程判断。

Identify best practices for defining a user-specific test plan for "Y2K" (Year 2000 rollover and related date-specific issues) validation. A taxonomy of system elements and features which are likely to exhibit Y2K failures. A user-customizable template for test plans and test scenarios for detection of defective (with respect to Y2K) system elements and features. A user-customizable methodology and process for determining the testing impact of various remediation, validation, and reporting methods. It is not intended that these practices be employable in a mechanical or rote fashion: significant engineering judgment must be exercised by the user of this document in applying its recommendations.
