Reports
The Reports feature helps teams analyze test case execution, test run results, failure trends, and requirement coverage using visual and tabular reports. Reports provide actionable insights that help teams track quality, identify problem areas, and make data-driven decisions.
Creating a New Report
To create a report, navigate to: Project → Reports → Create Report
This opens the New Report form where you can configure the report type, data source, and filters.
[New Report – Create Report Screen]
Basic Report Information
1. Name
The Name identifies the report. Use a clear and descriptive title that reflects the purpose of the report.
Examples:
- Test Execution Status by Priority
- Failure Rate by Test Case
- Requirement Traceability Matrix
2. Description
Use the Description field to explain what the report represents. This helps other users understand the intent and scope of the report.
Report Output Types
Tuskr supports five report output types, each designed for different analysis needs. You can switch between output types using the Output selector in the report form.
- Bar
- Line
- Pie
- Tabular
- Matrix
[Report Output Types – Bar, Pie, Line, Tabular, Matrix]
Bar, Line, and Pie Reports
The Bar, Line, and Pie reports share the same configuration and are used for visual trend and distribution analysis.
[Bar / Line / Pie Report Configuration]
Common Configuration Fields
X-Axis
Select the dimension you want to analyze, such as status, priority, or assignee. This represents the categories or labels in the chart.
Y-Axis
Defines the metric being measured, such as the count of test cases or executions. One or more Y-axis values can be selected depending on the report.
Sort By
Controls how the results are ordered. Example: Largest to Smallest.
Limit
Restricts the number of results shown in the chart. Useful for focusing on top results.
Include Entries with Blank Label
When enabled, records without a value for the selected field are included in the report.
These reports are ideal for:
- Visualizing execution status trends
- Tracking distribution of test cases
- Quickly identifying high-risk areas
Tabular Reports
The Tabular report displays data in a table format, making it suitable for detailed analysis and exporting.
[Tabular Report Configuration]
Tabular-Specific Fields
Table Of
Choose the entity you want to report on, such as Test Cases.
Columns
Select which columns should appear in the table. Columns can be reordered or removed as needed.
Common columns include:
- Name
- Key
- Status
- Priority
Group By
Group rows based on a selected field. Useful for summarizing large datasets.
Sort By and Sort Order
Control how table rows are ordered.
Tabular reports are useful for:
- Detailed reviews
- Sharing structured data
- Exporting results for external analysis
Matrix Reports
The Matrix report provides a multi-dimensional view of test data and supports two specialized modes.
[Matrix Report Configuration]
1. Test Execution Matrix
[Matrix – Test Execution]
Key Fields
- Recent Runs: Defines how many recent test runs should be analyzed
- Failure Threshold: Displays test cases that failed at least the specified number of times
Example use cases:
- Identifying flaky or unstable test cases
- Tracking repeatedly failing tests across multiple runs
2. Requirement Traceability Matrix
[Matrix – Requirement Traceability]
Columns
- References
- Requirement Key
- Requirement Name
This matrix helps teams:
- Verify requirement coverage
- Identify requirements without test cases
- Support audit and compliance needs
Failure Rate Report
The Failure Rate Report allows teams to track how often test cases fail over time.
[Failure Rate Configuration]
Failure Threshold
Use the Failure Threshold field to specify how many times a test case must fail to appear in the report.
Example: Show test cases that failed at least 3 times.
This report is especially useful for:
- Detecting unstable test cases
- Prioritizing fixes for frequently failing tests
- Improving overall test reliability
Filters in Reports
All report types support Filters, allowing you to narrow down the data included in the report.
[Report Filters]
Using Filters
- Add one or more filters based on available fields
- Combine filters to create highly targeted reports
Examples:
- Filter by test case priority
- Filter by execution status
- Filter by requirement or tag
Filters help ensure reports display only the most relevant data for your analysis.
Saving and Using Reports
- Click Save to create the report
- The report becomes available in the Reports section
- Reports can be reused, reviewed, and updated as project data evolves
