About promotion levels

The following five promotion levels are provided by default:

• REJECTED
• INITIAL
• BUILT
• TESTED
• RELEASED

The INITIAL promotion level is the level assigned by default when you create a baseline. You can change the default promotion level.

You can keep some or all of them, and you can define your own. Use Project Explorer to define the promotion levels that your project uses.

As work on your project progresses, and the quality and stability of the components improve, change the promotion level of the baseline to reflect a level of testing that the baseline has passed.
