Promoting a Result to a Result of Record

In the Results Summary pane, you can identify a specific execution result as a Result of Record. This Result of Record helps you determine which test requirements have been passed completely. If you identify a result as a Result of Record, the status, and execution information for each requirement linked to the process are updated.

When you promote a result to a Result of Record, the result is bolded, and a Result of Records column appears in the Summary pane. If you promote a new result to a Result of Record, the previously promoted result is replaced, and the bolded font is removed.

If the process has several child processes linked to multiple requirements, it may take several minutes for the requirement status to reflect the newly promoted results.

To promote a result to a Result of Record:

From the Certify menu, select Configure > Certify > Certify Global.

The Global Configuration Settings dialog opens.
Scroll down to the Requirements Status Calculation option.
From the drop-down list, select the From_Result_Of_Record option.
Click OK.
Restart Certify.

In the Certify Navigation pane, click Results.

The Results window opens.

In the Results Summary pane, right-click on a result you want to promote and select Promote to Result of Record.

The result is bolded in the Summary pane.

Resetting Result of Record

You can reset a result that already has been promoted to a Result of Record by right-clicking on the result in the Summary pane and selecting Reset From Result of Record.

If you reset the result, then the result no longer appears bolded in the Summary pane. Also, the status for each requirement linked to each process in the selected execution are updated with an Unknown value.
