Test Cycle Summary Report

Test Cycle Summary Reports

Test Cycle Summary report gives complete summary of test cycles created during filtered dates. Users can see current status of the Test Cycle along with parameters like Total Tests, Executed Tests, Pending Tests, Estimated and Execution Time of the Test Cycle. Users can also see how many test cases were failed, passed and marked as Not Applicable. This report is very useful to determine the health of the build.

Look for indicators : analyze, decide and improve processes :

Indicator	Conclusion / Deciding Factor	Action	Process Improvement
Number of failed test cases is high	Build is not stable	Cannot deploy this build	1. We should have proper check on build server to get good quality build. 2. We should have enough unit, integration and UI tests run on build server before deploying build for manual testing.
Test Cycle is taking more time than usual	Test cases are taking more time for execution.	Automate more test cases. Write Unit/Integration/UI tests so that manual regression will take less time.	1. Obsolete test cases should be removed. 2. Test Cycles should be created of only relevant test cases. 3. Minimum/necessary test cases should be part of manual regression test cycle.
All test cases are passed	Build is stable	We can deploy this build.	NA

Indicator

Conclusion / Deciding Factor

Action

Process Improvement

Number of failed test cases is high

Build is not stable

Cannot deploy this build

1. We should have proper check on build server to get good quality build.

2. We should have enough unit, integration and UI tests run on build server before deploying build for manual testing.

Test Cycle is taking more time than usual

Test cases are taking more time for execution.

Automate more test cases. Write Unit/Integration/UI tests so that manual regression will take less time.

1. Obsolete test cases should be removed.

2. Test Cycles should be created of only relevant test cases.

3. Minimum/necessary test cases should be part of manual regression test cycle.

All test cases are passed

Build is stable

We can deploy this build.

Users can also refer to these detailed reports for more details :

1. Fail Test Details :

Users can see how many and which all test cases were failed while executing the Test Cycle. This report also gives details like Application Area, Title, Tested By, Executed On and Duration of failed test cases.

Use => Check whether there are bugs filed for these failed TCs.

2. Not Applicable Tests Detail :

Users can see how many and which all test cases were marked as Not Applicable while executing the Test Cycle. This report also gives details like Application Area, Title, Tested By, Executed On and Duration of failed test cases.

Use => Check whether these TCs are still relevant. If no, disable/update these TCs.
