 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Maintenance Outcome records the result produced when a maintenance activity is completed or terminated. It states what happened without assuming that the intended change succeeded or that the Maintained Item satisfied its applicable Requirements.
 +
 +A Maintenance Outcome may indicate that the maintenance activity:
 +
 +  * Completed successfully
 +  * Completed with identified deviations
 +  * Failed
 +  * Was suspended
 +  * Was canceled
 +  * Was rolled back
 +  * Produced no change
 +
 +The Maintenance Outcome may reference the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:maintained_item|Maintained Item]], authorized change, implemented change, verification results, regression-test results, applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]], and responsible [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:authority|Authority]].

 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//result produced by the completion or termination of a maintenance activity//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc., derived from the maintenance-process concepts in ISO/IEC/IEEE 14764:2022
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Maintenance Outcome is not necessarily a successful result. Recording unsuccessful, suspended, canceled, rolled-back, and no-change outcomes prevents an attempted maintenance activity from disappearing from the record.
 +
 +A Maintenance Outcome differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:validation_decision|Validation Decision]]. A Maintenance Outcome records what resulted from the maintenance activity. A Validation Decision determines whether applicable Validation Criteria are satisfied.
 +
 +The outcome may be used as [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] and should retain [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]] and [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]].
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A maintenance activity replaces a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_executable|Test Executable]], but regression testing identifies an unintended change in previously verified behavior. The recorded Maintenance Outcome indicates that the change was rolled back and references the regression-test results that caused the rollback.
