Re: umm, no
They did manage all of those things, but as per their contract with NASA, they have to go to the ISS and show that they can dock etc. before they can start actually carrying crew there.
So unless NASA waive that part of the contract (which is possible), Boeing are going to have to run this whole mission all over again.
If you try to do something, but fuck it up and you have to do it all over again, then that fits the standard definition of "failure".
