Release Evidence
Release Evidence
Section titled “Release Evidence”Release evidence should let a reviewer identify the exact build and understand which controls were executed before release.
Suggested release evidence
Section titled “Suggested release evidence”A release evidence package can include:
- release or candidate identifier;
- source revision;
- build environment;
- dependency lock;
- software bill of materials where available;
- test and conformance results;
- integrity hashes or signatures;
- migration evidence;
- backup and restore evidence;
- known limitations and unresolved findings.
Boundary
Section titled “Boundary”Passing release checks supports the behavior that was actually tested.
It does not prove:
- correctness in every environment;
- absence of vulnerabilities;
- regulatory compliance by itself;
- suitability for every downstream use.
Preserve failures
Section titled “Preserve failures”If a release gate fails, preserve the failed result and the later remediation evidence separately.
Do not rewrite the failed evidence into a successful record.
