Main Description

This artifact provides a detailed, typically time-based record that serves both as verification that a set of tests were executed, and provides information relating to the success of those tests. The focus is creating an accurate record, which enables a post-execution diagnosis of test results. This raw data will subsequently be analyzed to help determine the results of some aspect of the test effort.
