As part of our ongoing effort to improve the quality of qualifications and ensure that members are provided guidance within Launch Studio to submit accurate test documentation, we will be adding new validation checks on member-submitted test plans to ensure that they meet qualification requirements and help members avoid errors that can result in enforcement actions.
Launch Studio will soon have the ability to review your test plan for common errors and inform you of any that need to be resolved before submitting your qualification. There will be two types of errors detected, errors that will prevent a project submission and warnings which will allow a project to be submitted but will require manual review before approval. As we implement these new checks, we will update the following release notes with the dates that those checks go into effect.
