As part of the development of FluDAG a number of tests were created to assert that the behavior from Fluka and FluDAG are consistent. These tests verify each feature that is tested in turn behaves identically to that in Fluka. The tests assert the following behaviour, USRTRACK scores given the same results in each geometry tested, USRBDX scores give the same result in each geometry tested, that turning on magnetic fields works and does not affect results adversely.   \subsection{ATIC Testing}  We validated the FluDAG code by constructing equivalent models in Fluka & FluDAG, the Space Radiation and Analysis group (SRAG) supplied a model of the ATIC detector that flew several times between XXX and XXX. The model was supplied in native Fluka format, we used the ``Export as'' feature in Flair to translate the Fluka model to MCNP, we then used mcnp2cad to generate the CAD model. The materials used in the FluDAG run were used as directly specified in the Fluka input. The calculations were run on the Condor Computing network at UW-Madison, 1000 Fluka simulations each with a different random number seed was submitted each with $1 \times 10^{6}$ primaries. Similarly, there were 500 FluDAG simulations.
