Types of Test Automation Reports your QA Team Needs

A thorough test report should be detailed, clear, consistent, and explicit. The ultimate purpose of reporting is to ensure that the project manager, analysts, testing team members, and developers communicate effectively. With that in mind, it must contain information that is concise but comprehensive, and most importantly, transparent to all stakeholders. It's helpful if descriptions of specific objects are brief and include a summary of test results. To maintain consistency, the provided data should follow a common pattern. Test reports are usually their main item of interest and the first thing they will request because they allow them to track the progress of software development.

A great test report should include the following four elements:

• Basic project information, such as the project name and description;
• The test objective contains information on the nature and purpose of the test.
• Passed, failed, and blocked test cases are listed in the test summary.
• Defects are prioritized and their current state is described.

1] Requirement Test Coverage Report

We may use RTM's Requirements Coverage test report to see if all of the Requirements are covered by associated Test Cases, Test Plans, Test Executions, Test Case Executions, and Defects. It allows you to filter the results by Project, Issue kind, Fix version, Component, RTM Environment, and Assignee, making it simple to detect requirements that are causing too many defects, for example.

The flexible view allows us to pick and choose which requirements we want to see, such as only showing covered or uncovered objects. If there is any extraneous information on the list, we can easily delete it by clicking the button in the upper left corner of the page and unselecting the metrics we don't want on our test report. We can export all generated data to a.PDF or.CSV file and deliver it to stakeholders using Requirements Coverage.

2] Traceability Report

Using the many-to-many relationship comparison, the Traceability Matrix exposes all forms of relationships between two baselined issue types in a visible way. The following are some of the key takeaways from the Traceability report:

Ensure that all Test Cases are included in Test Plans and Test Executions, verify the Defects linked to features, Test Cases, and Executions, and confirm that Test Plans are performed in Test Executions.

3] Test Execution Report

The overall progress of Test Plans is shown in the Test Plan Execution Report. We can verify progress based on Test Cases status or Test Case steps progress, depending on the level of granularity required. Furthermore, we may filter the results using the following criteria: Test Plans, Requirements for Test Plans, Test Cases, and Requirements for Test Cases..

Select the Test Case status in the Report based on option to check the progress of Test Plan execution based on Test Case state. We may see the progress of Test Plan execution based on Test Case steps progress if we pick Test Case steps progress in the Report based on option. The following parameters make up the final results:

• Test Plan
• Test Case key
• Summary
• Status
• Requirements of Test Cases
• Defects

4] Test Progress Reports

All test executions from the selected Test Plan are displayed in the Test Progress Report. We can simply analyse the current condition of each Test Case execution in a given Iteration using this test report. Summary and Test Execution Results are the two sections of the test report. The summary section shows the number of Test Plans, Test Cases, and executions, as well as the status of all executions. The percentage progress of test executions is displayed in the Test Execution Results section.

The following columns appear in the test report: Test Plan, Test Case, Test Case Summary, Execution passed, and #Number (x percent), which displays the number of iterations and the percentage of passed executions of all Test Cases in that iteration.
