Collecting verification-grade test evidence involves mapping acceptance criteria to reproducible checks within a limited validation scope. The process produces a structured validation evidence report detailing coverage mapping, confidence assessment, and explicit lists of blocked or uncovered items for gate decisions.

Freshness-aware evidence reuse classifies existing test results by fresh, expired, or unknown status during validation. It prioritizes reusing fresh and trustworthy results first, and only runs necessary new checks to fill missing evidence gaps.

To generate a validation evidence report, provide your current worktrack scope artifacts, acceptance criteria, and explicit validation requirements. The output explicitly lists covered items, blocked items, and confidence assessments for downstream gate decisions.

An AI coding harness supports test evidence collection by applying the Skill during the WorktrackScope.Verify validation lane. It requires an active worktrack and explicit validation requirements to evaluate before producing a structured evidence report for gate decisions.

A key limitation is that items classified as expired, unknown, or blocked remain uncovered and pose residual risks. Only fresh and trustworthy evidence is reused, meaning necessary new checks must run to cover missing validation requirements before a gate decision.
