# Test, Sample, Spec Execution, & Batch Review (LIMS)

When a *Batch* is created in LIMS it has a *Spec Execution* record, and the *Spec Execution* record has related *Lab Sample(s)* and *Lab Test(s)*. Throughout the testing of a *Spec Execution*, the Lab Manager and Quality Assurance personnel review completed *Lab Tests* and *Lab Samples*. These interim reviews are done to assess quality, determine if additional tests are needed, and ultimately minimize the time required for reviewing the *Spec Execution*. Reviewers look for any exceptions that may require additional testing, investigation, or a reason to prevent the *Batch* from being released. Veeva LIMS includes an intuitive test, sample, and spec execution review interface which focuses on exception-based review.

## **Test Set Review Interface**

The Test Set Review Interface can be accessed via a user action on a *Lab Test*, or *Lab Test Set* record.

The Test Set Review Interface includes the following sections:

### Header

The top section of the test review interface displays the executed *Test Definition* as the title. Exit the review by clicking the **Exit** button.

### Exception Summary

The upper area contains a summary of all exceptions which occurred during testing. This section is not displayed if there are no exceptions. The types of exceptions and their associated icons are the same as [those which Analysts see during test execution](/en/lr/51412711/#alerts). The numbers in this section are totals which include exceptions in all *Lab Tests* in the *Lab Test Set*.

### Results Review

The next section of the Test Set Review Interface contains a results grid with columns for each sample, and indicates individual exceptions on each *Lab Test Result* value. The **View Result Changes** action is available on each result cell and will show a complete history of data entered for the *Lab Test Result*.

### Test Detail

The next section of the Test Set Review Interface displays additional details about the included tests and allows you to perform actions on the individual *Lab Test* records. You can change the *Test Detail* section display settings using the section-level **Actions** menu.

### Input Detail

The lower section of the Test Set Review Interface contains an input grid with columns detailing information such as the input used, and amount (where applicable). The **View Input Changes** action is available on each input cell and will show a complete history of data entered for the *Lab Test Input*.

## **Reviewing Samples, Spec Executions, & Batches**

A review of a *Lab Sample* or *Spec Execution* consists of reviewing data on the associated record's object detail page and then performing the appropriate workflow task (this will be dependent on your specific system configuration). *Lab Test*, *Lab Sample* and *Spec Execution* object record detail pages contain a special *Exception Summary* section to help Lab Managers or Quality Assurance personnel review pertinent data during reviews.

### Exception Summary

This section contains a summary of all exceptions which occurred during testing. The types of exceptions and their associated icons are the same as [those which Analysts see during test execution](/en/lr/51412711/#alerts), as well as an *Additions* exception to alert if one or more *Lab Tests* or *Lab Samples* were added to *Lab Samples* or the *Spec Execution*, respectively. The numbers in this section are totals which include exceptions in all *Lab Tests* associated with this sample or spec execution.
