Re-assess a new version
Carry useful context forward while reopening version-dependent evidence.
Create a follow-on Assessment when the product’s components or configuration change. Use another Assessment for the same version when only the objective differs.
Start from the existing case
Choose Re-assess for a new version. Review the dialog’s list of what carries over: facts, standards, plan, evidence links, and reviews.
Review the reopened work
Items that relied on the earlier version’s results, test requirements, observations, or decisions reopen. Frozen requirements receive new proposal identities, and the new version’s evidence starts open.
Inspect carried scope and requirements before preparing tests. A link to earlier evidence preserves its source; decide explicitly whether that evidence applies to the new configuration.
Make the next decision on its own basis
Gather and review the required evidence for the new version. Record its decision with its own scope, results, conditions, and remaining gaps. The earlier case and decision retain their history.
Read Intent changes for changes to purpose or boundaries that do not replace the product configuration.
