How and when should I round QA data?

1) Each value reported in the XML file should be rounded to the appropriate number of decimal places for the field.   See the QA reporting instructions for the correct number of decimal places to round each reported value.

2) Raw QA data should be rounded to the appropriate number of decimal places in the field prior to using them in any calculations.

3) However, do NOT round values in any intermediate calculations in a QA test. Even if you report an intermediate value, use the UNROUNDED value in subsequent calculations.
