Assertions • Unit Testing
COMPLETE RUBRIC-ALIGNED SAMPLE REPORT
2026 Updated Edition

, Submission and Integrity Notice
This document is an original, rubric-aligned sample demonstrating how a D385 V2 Task 1 report can be organized. It was
not evaluated by WGU and must not be represented as an officially passed submission. Replace all bracketed identity fields
and adapt the code, filenames, findings, screenshots, and rubric headings to the current task materials supplied in the student
portal.
The sample evidence in this report was generated by executing the included original equipment-rental application. The
terminal figures show authentic outputs from seven unit tests, an educational AST-based static scanner, Python compilation,
and structured application logs. They are not screenshots of WGU systems, Bandit, Flake8, or a proprietary starter project.
Recommended upload structure
Upload Contents
D385_Task1_Report.pdf or .docx Written analysis, implementation rationale, evidence figures, testing results, references, and
appendix.
D385_Task1_Code.zip The complete modified project using the original filenames and directory structure required by the
current task.
Evaluation safeguard: Copy the exact current rubric headings into the final student report. If the portal requires screenshots in
a separate PDF or a different ZIP structure, follow the portal rather than this sample.
