Study Notes
Test Reports in Software Testing
- There are standard and non-standard reports in software testing.
- Standard reports are created as part of the testing life cycle, including:
- Test Progress Report (TPR): Created multiple times at different milestones, providing a summary of testing performed during a specific period.
- Test Summary Report: Created once at the end of the project or release, summarizing the entire testing process.
Test Progress Report (TPR)
- Created at multiple milestones throughout the lifecycle.
- Includes information on:
- Summary of testing performed.
- Information on what occurred during the test period.
- Status of testing at that point in time.
- Deviations from the plan.
- Critical defects found.
- Metrics on defects, execution statistics, and resource consumption.
- Risk mitigation and residual risk status.
- Reusable test work products produced during that cycle.
Test Summary Report
- Created once at the end of the project or release.
- Includes the same information as the TPR but covers the entire project or release.
Non-Standard Reports
- Daily reports: Individual testers may be required to submit daily reports on their work.
- Defect reports: Establishing traceability between each item, including defects and their status.
- Test logs: Record of test executions, including passed and failed tests.
- Ad-hoc reports: May be requested by stakeholders, such as test coverage or requirement coverage.
Standard Reports
- Standard reports are created as part of the testing life cycle
- Two types of standard reports: Test Progress Report (TPR) and Test Summary Report
Test Progress Report (TPR)
- Created multiple times at different milestones
- Provides a summary of testing performed during a specific period
- Includes information on:
- Summary of testing performed
- Information on what occurred during the test period
- Status of testing at that point in time
- Deviations from the plan
- Critical defects found
- Metrics on defects, execution statistics, and resource consumption
- Risk mitigation and residual risk status
- Reusable test work products produced during that cycle
Test Summary Report
- Created once at the end of the project or release
- Summarizes the entire testing process
- Includes the same information as the TPR but covers the entire project or release
Non-Standard Reports
- Types of non-standard reports:
- Daily reports: Individual testers submit daily reports on their work
- Defect reports: Establishing traceability between each item, including defects and their status
- Test logs: Record of test executions, including passed and failed tests
- Ad-hoc reports: May be requested by stakeholders, such as test coverage or requirement coverage
