Route test sample report

A desensitized static sample of a route-test report: what a route test checks, how failures read, and what triggers a route review.

What's inside

  • A sample report is a method, not a benchmark: the SAMPLE label, the scope and the pass and fail rules are part of the method.
  • The report anatomy, a pass and fail table, and the checks to repeat on your own routes.
  • Illustrative figures only, not live network data.

Read the method, not the numbers

A sample report shows how a route test is read, not how your route will perform. The figures are synthetic and labeled SAMPLE; the method is the part you reuse.

The sections below follow the report: about, scope, what a route test checks, what it does not cover, the sample batch, a failure, and the step from sample to your own test.

Report anatomy

  1. About and scope

    What the report covers and which destination it was run on.

  2. Method

    What is tested, what is not, and the pass or fail rule for each check.

  3. Sample batch

    Synthetic rows, labeled SAMPLE, that show the shape of the table.

  4. Failure reading

    One failed batch triggers a review; a repeated pattern triggers a switch.

  5. Your own test

    The same method on your destinations, your senders and your content.

Pass and fail, check by check

A test returns a result per check, not one average.
CheckA pass meansA failure triggers
Handset arrivalThe message reaches the test handset inside the agreed window.A route review: sender, content, encoding, destination range and delivery reports.
Sender shownThe recipient sees the sender as submitted.A check for rewriting or filtering, then a sender review.
Content fidelityText, accents, links and concatenation arrive as sent.An encoding and content review, a corrected test and a retest.
Delivery-report truthThe report matches what the test handset observed.Reconciliation by message ID, then a route review.
Reply pathA reply reaches the callback or inbox.An inbound-route review, separate from the outbound result.
