# Define measure consequences

# Define measure consequences for the threshold rules {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 23, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Set actions or responses to trigger when the test measure results fall outside the predefined acceptable limits.

## Before you begin

The test definition must be in the Draft state, and it must have at least one threshold rule. See [Define threshold rules for a test measure definition](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/plCrB_o8XYed2qYpQ4EDtw "Set the limits for a test measure definition that a captured value is checked against. When a value breaks a limit, the system records a threshold rule violation.").

Role required: sn_st_mgmt.test_def_creator

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Test ManagementTest DefinitionsAll.
2. Select the test definition that you want to open.
3. In the Threshold Rules related list, select the threshold rule that you want to define a consequence.
4. In the Measure Consequences related list, select New.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For the field descriptions, see [Measure Consequence form fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/O8vj_Hcf~l5~KVFpjOCFsQ "Review the fields on the Measure Consequence form.").
6. Select Submit.

## Result

When a test measure breaks the threshold rule, the system can apply the consequence and record an applied consequence. See [Review applied consequences](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9WhzpSnT48aFJUIW52lucw "Check the action that was applied because of a violation and whether the action repeats.").
