Results Log

The Results Log is a simple summary of what has been tested and what the results were. Typically, the test cases are run several times as software is developed. Often the results are written on the bottom of each test case, but this makes for an unwieldy document. Management wants a quick summary and doesn't want to wade through 400 pages of test cases to find out what happened.

The Results Log is a simple matrix with the following format:
