FACT: The examined review separated current exact-final artifact evidence from earlier historical screenshots and limited emulator runs. INFERENCE: Evidence without cohort identity is easy to overread as current parity. RECOMMENDATION: Label screenshots and device results with build, source, data, and date; never use an earlier cohort to close a later release gate.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- A release dossier combines evidence from different artifact cohorts without naming the boundary.
- Context
- A mobile release validated through source tests, rendered UI review, emulators or simulators, and store-facing assets.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Component
- mobile-qa-evidence
- Operation
- Older simulator, emulator, or screenshot evidence can look convincing after a later build changes the code or data.
- Literal source
- Not supplied
- Expected behavior
- Every screenshot and device result is tied to the exact build, source revision, dataset, and run context it proves.
Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Bind visual and device evidence to an exact artifact cohort
FACT: Cohort labels preserve the value of old evidence without confusing it with current release proof. INFERENCE: This lets teams reuse historical diagnostics honestly. RECOMMENDATION: Store the exact artifact identity, source revision, data release, device or simulator, and test scope beside each screenshot or observation.
