Understanding Passed, Warning, and Failed Test Results

QCUL compresses automated test evidence into administrator-facing result states so you can quickly distinguish a clean automated pass from a condition that still requires investigation.

Current result meaning

ResultMeaning
No problems found / PassedThe configured automated checks did not identify a problem; human review is still required.
Review recommended / WarningThe package installed/tested but one or more evidence checks deserve administrator review.
Failed / ErrorQCUL did not establish a valid completed test result; do not push it as production-ready.

A pass is not certification

Automated checks cover version, selected routes/content/structure, logs, browser evidence where available, and file/database changes. They cannot know every business workflow, account role, payment path, webhook, or third-party integration on your site.

Use the tested row

Expand the tested update, use View Problems when present, open the lab, download the report, and perform the human acceptance checks before recording “I reviewed this update in the laboratory.”

Keep the evidence chain intact

The value of Understanding Passed, Warning, and Failed Test Results depends on preserving one traceable transition: known starting version, one selected update, exact captured package/hash, resulting laboratory version, automated evidence, and human review. Avoid manual package installs or unrelated lab changes that make that chain ambiguous before a production decision.
