Hello,
Thanks for the tip! Yeah, we also considered this. It can work, but we wanted a better solution. Let me clarify why:
Current values of Test Case Statuses field are:
- Draft
- Missing requirement
- Ready for review
- Rejected
- Approved
- Deprecated
If we extend this with the automation statuses, like:
- Automation needed
- Automation in progress
- Automated
Than we will have too much statuses (9) without proper workflow model (I mean -if I am right- there is no way to create a real workflow like in Jira), so the people can easily get confused, which is unlucky.
I don't want to be insatiable, but any another idea? 🙂 (If no, I can accept this answer as a solution.)
Hi,
I can understand why you wouldn't want to do that 😉. You could look at the other fields in the Test Case screen and see what you could potentially use as criteria for reporting. I don't know what you're using but the fields listed below would all work as they are are accessible as criteria in reports. What you're looking for in the reports is one that has the Custom Query option and the ability to add criteria for Test Cases - this is where you would be able to add criteria for the fields suggested below:
- Components (intended for a different purpose but it will work and can be defined in the Project Settings)
- Priorities (if you're not using this works very nicely in some reports)
- Labels (this could be your best option because it's setup nicely to have multiple label values that I don't think will interfere with other purposes)
The way I see it working is that you would create 3 reports or gadgets, 1 each for Automation Needed, Automation In Progress, and Automated. You could then show these alongside in a dashboard and that would give you total numbers for scenario.
Some examples:
Test Execution Scorecard by Component - even though it's purpose is to show execution progress, it can still be used to separate between component values
Test Cases Summary - has a donut dashboard element that shows the split of test cases by Priority
Test Execution Results (Progress) - is a donut chart that is also available as a dashboard gadget. It's intended to show execution status but you can use criteria such as Label, Priority, or Component to return a total number of test cases, ignoring the test execution status results. Not that great though if you have multiple execution statuses, although you could add extra criteria to show only those test cases that haven't been executed if that's an option.
Test Execution Results (Overall) - similar to the above report; also available as a dashboard gadget.
Test Cases by Status - this will also work in the same way as the above. Also available as a dashboard gadget
Hope one of those helps.
