RE: Rejecting the Build
Generally the conditions will be specified in test plan under the section 'Entry criteria'.

The conditions most probably will be in the form of smoke test suit - which comprises a small set of test cases which tests basic functionalities in order to find 'show stopper'.

If smoke test suit passes then entry criteria is satisfied and the build is ready for testing.

Sometimes certain non-functional criteria may also be used.Sometimes certain important bug refix will be the entry criteria-everything depends on context.

RE: Rejecting the Build
A smoke test suite is attempting to determine if the build is worth testing. Some things that probably should be considered:

  1. Are there bugs in this build that severly interfere with the testing effort?
  2. Has there been a major revision that is absolutely necessary for the viability of the finished product. Or put another way is the current build appear to be much closer to the finished product?
  3. How does this current build compare to the previous build (the one you are currently testing).
  4. Are there important bug fixes that need to be varified.
