# Deviations

> Deviation details and tracking for Use Cases

## Deviations

In the Dashboard area, the Deviations section allows you to access all deviations associated with the selected Use Case.

<Info>
  A deviation is created when a test execution fails. All consecutive failing
  test executions are grouped under the same deviation until a successful test
  run occurs.

## Deviation Details

Selecting a deviation from the list opens a detailed view of that deviation. This view provides comprehensive information about the deviation.

### Overview

The Overview tab provides a summary of the deviation, including:

* **Deviation ID**: Unique identifier for the deviation.
* **Status**: Current status of the deviation (e.g., ongoing, resolved).
* **Risk Priority**: The risk priority assigned to the deviation, indicating its severity.

### Evaluation

The Evaluation tab displays the evaluation results of the deviation, including:

* **Category**: The category of the deviation (e.g., Temporary service outage).
* **External Incident Reference**: In case our team has raised an incident for this deviation with the service provider, this field contains the reference to that incident.
* **Result**: The detailed explanation of the deviation evaluation, including the reason for the deviation and any relevant details.
* **Messages**: Additional messages related to the deviation, providing context and insights.

### Technical Details

The Technical Details tab provides in-depth technical information about the deviation, including:

* **Cloud Platform**: The cloud platform where the deviation occurred.
* **Data Center / Region**: The specific data center or region where the deviation was detected.
* **Cloud Service**: The specific service affected by the deviation.
* **Component**: The component within the service that is affected by the deviation.
* **Feature**: The specific feature of the service that is impacted by the deviation.

#### Verification Runs

The Verification Runs section lists all relevant test execution runs associated with the deviation. This includes:

* **Failed Test Execution**: The test execution that failed and triggered the deviation. (All subsequent failing test executions are grouped under the same deviation until a successful test run occurs.)
* **Successful Test Execution**: The test execution that resolved the deviation.

Verification runs can be opened to view detailed information about the test execution. The detailed tab will show additional information such as:

* **Times**: The start and end times of the test execution.
* **Duration**: The total duration of the test execution.
* **Retry Count**: The number of retries attempted for the test execution.

Additional information about the Features impacted will be displayed in the *Verified Features* section.
Clicking on a feature will open the test execution details for that feature, allowing you to see the specific tests that were executed and their results.
