# Execute Tests Stage — Elaboration

## Criteria Guidance

### Good criteria — concrete and verifiable

- "Test results document pass/fail status for every test case with evidence (screenshots, logs, or output) for each failure"
- "Defect reports include reproduction steps, environment details, severity classification, and root cause hypothesis"
- "Coverage report confirms execution percentage against the planned test suite with justification for any unexecuted tests"

### Bad criteria — vague (no clear check)

- "Tests are run"
- "Defects are logged"
- "Testing is complete"
