(a)) Great, it has worked!
(b) Great, I have succeeded (in making it work)!
(b') Great, I have passed (the test)!
I think "to work" and "succeed" are linked semantically but what are the translations in your language? Please add some comment on the word you use (meaning, use, maybe etymology)
(I also wondered: could "succeed" be considered a causative? I think not, where "to make something work" can be considered a causative)
