This document contains a set of tests designed to validate that the process of evacuation of people from a building is consistent with the results of evacuation simulations obtained with the Fenix+ 3 software.

This document and the set of tests presented in it will be supplemented and adjusted when changes are made to the Fenix+ 3 program and when the tests themselves are refined.
