  3. The Results tab will appear in the right-hand panel; select Edit results at the bottom of the panel.
    ​

  4. A new screen will display for editing results. Enter a value in the Time to recover field.
    ​

  5. The system will auto-calculate and recommend a test result based on the following criteria:
    ​
    ​For resource-based tests:

    • If recovery time > Recovery Time Objective, then the result is Fail.

    • If recovery time ≤ Recovery Time Objective, then the result is Pass.
      ​

    For important business service-based tests:

    • If recovery time > Impact Tolerance, then the result is Fail causing Intolerable Harm.

    • If recovery time < Impact Tolerance, then the result is Pass causing Inconvenience.

    • If recovery time = Impact Tolerance, then the result is Fail causing Harm.
