Corrective Action Log
The purpose of the Corrective Action Log is to record and track the assignment of problem reports for action. Normally there will be two logs maintained - one for corrections to the product, and one for corrections to procedures, policies or standards. The log identifies the initial problem, issue, or defect, and the owner for the completion of the defined action is recorded. A series of actions to fix the problem are identified, and the open date and target closure date are recorded. A status indicator is used to aid exception reporting.
Project Status Report
The "Project Status Report" is prepared at regular intervals, usually once a week, to keep the client and team informed as to the progress (or lack thereof) with respect to the project. Milestones, costs, resource usage, time, and quality status are compared against the Project Plan. Changes to risk status and strategies are identified.

Prototype Evaluation Report
The User Testing and Evaluation Report includes a summary of the key findings and recommendations, details of the evaluation protocols used and data to support the conclusions drawn. The evaluation protocols should be agreed to by the client to ensure full coverage of the client's expectations of the evaluation process. The report will include specific user issues and concerns by category of user and a review of the findings from each evaluation protocol used. The report would be confidential and become the property of the client. Confidentiality agreements with the evaluation team should be in place.
Test Incident Report
The purpose of a Test Incident Report is to document any event that occurs during the testing process, which requires investigation. The Problem Resolution procedure defined in the Quality Plan should document the manner in which any Test Incident Reports are to be treated.
The Test Incident Report conforms to ANSI/IEEE Standard 829-1983, IEEE Standards for software test documentation.
Test Item Transmittal Report
The purpose of a Test Item Transmittal Report is to identify the test items being transmitted for testing. This report basically serves the purpose of a "cover sheet" confirming that the item to be tested is ready for testing, and documents the hand over from programmer to the testing team. In some environments, a Test Item Transmittal Report may be generated automatically by the Configuration Management System.
The Test Item Transmittal Report conforms to ANSI/IEEE Standard 829-1983, IEEE Standards for software test documentation.
Test Log
The purpose of the Test Log is to provide a chronological record of relevant details about the execution of tests. A test log is usually in the form of a diary or log book. Test logs should demonstrate that all defined test cases have been performed.
This Test Log conforms to ANSI/IEEE Standard 829-1983, IEEE Standards for software test documentation.
