Monitoring Test Results

QA managers can then review test summary information to assess overall product quality and determine when the product is ready to ship.

In the QA Test Plans view, the tester assesses the number of test plan executions (passes) and the status of the last test plan execution. The more test plan passes and the higher the stability of the tested area, the greater the overall product quality.

QA managers can run queries on fields to pinpoint areas of risk to product quality. To identify the new product features that are minimally tested, and the features that might be unstable, complete the procedure in this topic.

To monitor test results

1. Navigate to the Release screen, then the QA Test Plans view.

2. In one of the following fields, create a query to identify the features that are incompletely tested or unstable:

   • In the Passes field, enter <n (less than n) , where n is the minimum number of test iterations that you think is adequate at this point in the release.

     In each test plan the query returns, click the Related Features field to display the features that are at risk because they are not fully tested.

   • In the Last Build field, enter Unstable or another value in the Status field on the QA Tests view that represents a low-quality assessment.

     In each test plan the query returns, click the Related Features field to display the features that are at risk because they were not functional in the most recent test.
