Example: the administrator sets the release threshold for failed unit tests at 5%. If the current release is at 4%, and all other thresholds are within the specified levels, the release manager is informed that the release can proceed. But if the failed unit tests parameter is at 6%, the release manager is informed that the parameter is out of acceptable range and he should withold the release.
