Results & Remediation ​

Results capture the outcome of test execution over time. Remediation is how you turn failures into concrete improvements in controls, systems, and evidence.

What this is ​

Testing is only valuable if it produces action:

  • Results tell you what happened.
  • Remediation tells you what to do next.

Where in Modulos ​

  • Project → Testing → select a test → Results to see the run history and details
  • Project → Testing → select a test to run the test manually and manage links to controls
  • User → Notifications to see alerts generated from failed or error outcomes
Test detail page showing the Results tab, historical outcomes, and linked controls.
A test detail page combines results, ownership, and links to controls so failures can be routed and audited. UI shown in light mode.
  1. 1
    Results tab
    Review historical outcomes for the test.
  2. 2
    Test Now
    Run the test manually to confirm a change or investigate drift.
  3. 3
    Result history
    Each run is recorded with passed, failed, or error status.
  4. 4
    Assignee and status
    Route follow-up to an owner and enable or disable the test.
  5. 5
    Linked controls
    Associate tests to controls so outcomes become audit-relevant.

Result statuses ​

Each test run produces a result status:

  • Passed: the condition was met
  • Failed: the condition was not met
  • Error: the test could not be evaluated because the data path was not healthy

Typical causes of error include:

  • the source connection is failing
  • the metric name is missing or not found in the source
  • no recent datapoint exists in the lookback window

Who gets notified ​

Failed and error results are routed to the right owners:

  • the test assignee
  • users associated with linked controls

Passed results are recorded for traceability but do not generally require attention.

What remediation looks like in practice ​

Modulos does not treat remediation as a separate silo. A practical loop looks like this:

  1. Triage
    • If the status is error, fix the integration or the metric first.
    • If the status is failed, treat it as drift in the system or control implementation.
  2. Fix the root cause
    • change the system, process, or configuration that the metric reflects
  3. Update governance artifacts
    • update the control narrative if needed
    • attach evidence that proves what changed and when
  4. Re-verify
    • run the test manually, or monitor scheduled runs until the signal stabilizes

If a test is linked to a control, use failures as a prompt to revisit whether the control should still be considered executed and effective.
