Test Parameters

 

what test parameters should consider effective test report or dashboard our customer?

manas,

 

since have mentioned communication of actual test progress purpose of test report/ dashboard, might want consider following parameters/ data report:

 

1) testing scope (for current release or time period etc.)

2) team members involved in test

3) test environment(s) used

4) tests designed/ developed

5) test held (with reasons), tests executed, tests yet executed

6) defects reported (broken portal/ product, severity, priority, status, reporter, assigned etc.)

7) issues faced while testing (with reasons/ possible solutions)

8) analysis of test far

 

out of items above, item # 4 v/s 1, 5 v/s 1 , 6 can represented graphically in simple manner.

 

your report/ dashboard design might or might not able satisfy data requirements of people in distribution list. if receive suggestions them, might want incorporate suggestions in report/ dashboard.

 

if possible, should avoid publishing same data in multiple formats e.g. 1 report engineers , report managers. if people have different requirements, might possible gather requirements , decide on 1 format satisfies most/ of needs of group.

 

another thing should keep copies of reports/ dashboards created , distributed if there requirement of test progress analysis, data readily available you.

 

hope helps!
