Test Report

A Test Report is a document that provides detailed information on the results of software testing activities. It summarizes the testing process, including the test objectives, scope, methodology, and outcomes. Test reports are essential for communicating testing results to stakeholders, including developers, project managers, and clients.

Key components of a test report include:

• Test Summary: An overview of the testing process, including the purpose of testing, key activities performed, and the testing environment.
• Test Results: A detailed record of the test cases executed, including pass/fail statuses, any defects identified, and any issues encountered during testing.
• Defect Tracking: Information on the defects found during testing, including severity, priority, and status (open, closed, resolved), with links to the defect management system.
• Test Coverage: An assessment of the areas covered during testing, such as functional, non-functional, and boundary conditions, along with any uncovered areas.
• Test Metrics: Quantitative data about the testing process, including the number of test cases executed, passed, failed, blocked, and skipped.
• Risk and Issues: A discussion of any risks, concerns, or blockers identified during testing that could impact the software’s delivery or quality.
• Recommendations: Suggestions for improvements, whether related to defects found, performance issues, or testing strategies.

A test report provides valuable insights into the quality of the software, helping stakeholders make informed decisions about the software’s readiness for release.
