Test Results
After processing test orders, the test results are transferred to the Test History. When the test orders are finished, the results are transferred to the Test Results Consolidated page, which combines all test results from multiple test orders for an item tracked lot- or serial number and then uses this information as the basis for the Customer Certificate.
You can access both test history and consolidated test results from the Lot No. Information or Serial No. Information pages, filtered by the specific lot/serial number, or you can open the pages separately using Tell Me.
Lot No. / Serial No. Information Pages
To open test results from the test orders posted for the selected item/lot- or serial number combination, choose the Testing History action on the Lot No. / Serial No. Information page. For more information, see Testing History.
To open the consolidated test results based on the Customer Certificate parameters in the test plans, choose the Test Results on the Related menu.
In addition to accessing test results, you can create or open Customer Certifications from the Lot No. Information Card or Serial No. Information Card.
Test Results Consolidated
The Test Results Consolidated page lists information for the following data types:
- Decimal
- Integer
- Boolean
- Options
The calculation of each based on the related result fields are described in the following table.
| Data Type | Calculation Type | Calculated Value | Boolean Value | Value as Text |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integer / Decimal | Min | Lowest value of all Test Results. | ||
| Max | Highest value of all Test Results. | |||
| Average | Sum of all Determined Values / No. of Values. | |||
| Standard Deviation | Average distance of all values calculated from the Average; adds the latest value to the existing result. | |||
| First Value | First Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. | |||
| Latest Value | Last Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. | |||
| Boolean | Min | First value or "false" if any other value is "false". | ||
| Max | First value or "true" if any other value is "true". | |||
| Average | "True" if at least half of the values are "true", otherwise "false". | |||
| First Value | First Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. | |||
| Latest Value | Last Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. | |||
| Option | Average | Contains the Expected Value if at least half of the Determined Values = Expected Value. Otherwise, contains the Out-of-Spec Value value. |
||
| First Value | First Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. | |||
| Latest Value | Last Determined Value, based on the sorting setup. |
The Test Order Output Value field shows the output value of a unique test property (i.e., not using multiple measurements) that was specified during value recording for the test order for all calculation types except Average and Standard Deviation. This value will be transferred to the Customer Certificate line and shown in the Customer Certificate reports.
The following sections describe special situations for the calculation types described above.
Standard Deviation
The Standard Deviation option for Integer / Decimal types is a statistical measurement that measures the dispersion of a Testing History relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. Expected Value or Upper/Lower Limit of Test Plan Test Property refers to this Calculation Type. Depending on the calculated standard deviation of the Consolidated Test Result verified by limits/expected value, the line details of the Certificate use the information of acceptance or out-of-specification. Therefore, the statistical measurement is used to check if the Consolidated Test Result meets the specification (Test Plan Test Property).
First and Latest Values
The First Value and Latest Value options are based on the first and last recorded and finished values, sorted by Test Order No., Test Order Property Set Line No., and Test Order Property Line No. in order of creation of the Test Orders.
This means that the Document No. of the Finished Test Orders is used as the basis: If the Document No. of the Test Order to be finished is smaller than the "First" or greater than the "Latest", then it is used in the Test Results Consolidated page.
For example, ten test orders are created for LOT0021. Values are recorded for all test orders but only TO00048 and TO00052 are finished. The results of these two orders are transferred to the Test Results Consolidated page for Integer / Decimal types and used as the first and latest values:
| Test Order No. | Values Recorded | Finished / Test Results Consolidated | First / Latest Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| TO00046 | ✗ | ||
| TO00047 | ✗ | ||
| TO00048 | ✗ | ✗ | First |
| TO00049 | ✗ | ||
| TO00050 | ✗ | ||
| TO00051 | ✗ | ||
| TO00052 | ✗ | ✗ | Latest |
| TO00053 | ✗ | ||
| TO00054 | ✗ | ||
| TO00055 | ✗ |
Then test orders TO00047 and TO00054 are finished. The results show that the First and Latest entries change based on the order of the finished test orders:
| Test Order No. | Values Recorded | Finished / Test Results Consolidated | First / Latest Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| TO00046 | ✗ | ||
| TO00047 | ✗ | ✗ | First |
| TO00048 | ✗ | ✗ | |
| TO00049 | ✗ | ||
| TO00050 | ✗ | ||
| TO00051 | ✗ | ||
| TO00052 | ✗ | ✗ | |
| TO00053 | ✗ | ||
| TO00054 | ✗ | ✗ | Latest |
| TO00055 | ✗ |
Later, test order TO00051 is finished. The results remain the same:
| Test Order No. | Values Recorded | Finished / Test Results Consolidated | First / Latest Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| TO00046 | ✗ | ||
| TO00047 | ✗ | ✗ | First |
| TO00048 | ✗ | ✗ | |
| TO00049 | ✗ | ||
| TO00050 | ✗ | ||
| TO00051 | ✗ | ✗ | |
| TO00052 | ✗ | ✗ | |
| TO00053 | ✗ | ||
| TO00054 | ✗ | ✗ | Latest |
| TO00055 | ✗ |
This result occurs because even though TO00051 was the most recently finished recorded value, TO00054 is still the last finished recorded value. Since values are transferred to the Test Results Consolidated page when test orders are Finished, this ensures that the last recorded value is used instead of an older test value that was recently finished.
Note
In a live environment, test orders would not be randomly finished as shown in the example; it was merely done to explain the functionality.
Min/Max
The Min and Max options for the Boolean data type show the deviation from the expected value.
- For the Min option, the Boolean Value field will show the first recorded value (either Yes or No) or will automatically show No if any other value is "false".
- For the Max option, the Boolean Value field will show the first recorded value (either Yes or No) or will automatically show Yes if any other value is "true".
Average
The Average option for the Boolean and Option data types bases the results on whether at least half of the values match the expected results.
- For the Boolean data type, the Boolean Value field will be Yes if at least half of the values are "true", otherwise the field will be No.
- For the Option data type, the Value as Text field contains the expected value if at least half of the Determined Values match the Expected Value. If not, the field contains the value from the Out-of-Spec Value field, which is specified for results that do not match the expected value.
