Test release gate reconciliation calculator

Calculate modeled gate outcome and checks passing without exception with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use modeled gate outcome and checks passing without exception to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Modeled gate outcome

READY only if every required check passes or has an explicitly permitted accepted unexpired exception.

Checks passing without exception

Required checks with pass status.

Checks waived by supplied accepted current exceptions

Nonpassing checks with exceptions allowed=yes, accepted=yes and expiry≥audit.

Unresolved required checks

Required checks neither passing nor validly waived; absent results remain unresolved.

Expired accepted exception records

Accepted exception records with expiry before audit, even if another result now passes.

Symbols and units
a
Required release checks: name, explicit exceptions allowed yes/no
b
Observed checks: name, pass/fail/pending; or none
c
Exception records: check, expiry inclusive, accepted yes/no; or none
d
Audit date

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A reconciliation of supplied release checks and externally accepted exception records. READY is this worksheet’s result only; it does not approve risk, change exceptions, run checks or deploy software.
