View the status of planned tests or monitor testing progress by defining test case or test result charts. To learn more about test planning, see Create test plans and test suites. For information about test result terms, see Test objects and terms.

Track testing progress

Use test results charts to track how your testing is going. Choose from a fixed set of pre-populated fields related to results.

Add your own charts for test results to visualize what's important for your team. If you already know how to add a chart, jump to the examples below of charts that you can create.

By default, a pie chart is created for each test plan. This chart is grouped by the outcome field to show the latest results for all the tests in the test plan. View this default chart from the Charts page.

Select test plan. Go to Charts page to view default chart

To add a chart, follow these steps:

  1. Select the test plan or test suite for your chart in the Test Plans page. Then create a new chart.

    On the Charts page; click New. Select New Test Result Chart

  2. Select the chart type. Based on the chart, configure the fields that you want to use to group by, or for the rows and columns.

    Name your chart. Select the field values. To save, click OK

    All charts roll up the information for any child test suites of the test plan or test suite that you selected.

  3. Save the chart. Now it will be displayed in the Charts page for the test plan or test suite that you selected.

Test results examples

This section includes examples of useful charts.

On the chart page, choose New test result chart; choose Pie chart. In Group By, select Outcome

Check status for user stories per sprint

If you created requirement-based test suites in your test plan for your user stories, you can create a chart to review status for user stories that your team is testing in the current sprint.

Create a static test suite that groups your requirement-based test suites together. Select that static test suite in the Test Plans page. Add a test results stacked bar chart.

Select Suite as the Y-axis and Outcome as Group by.

For Rows, select Suite. For Columns, select Outcome. To save, click OK

Check tests for each tester

You can check how many tests that each tester left to run.

Select your test plan in the Test Plans page and add a test results pivot table chart. Choose Tester as Rows and Outcome as Columns pivot.

Track test case status

Use test case charts to find out the progress of your test case authoring. The charts for test cases give you the flexibility to report on columns that you add to the tests page. By default, test case fields aren't added to the view in the tests page.

If you already know how to add a chart, jump to the examples below of charts that you can create for test cases.

  1. Add any fields you want to use for your test case chart from the tests page with Column options. Then the fields will appear as choices in the drop-down lists for grouping for your test case charts.

  2. Select the test plan or test suite for your chart in the Test Plans page. Then add a test case chart.

    Select test suite; Charts page; New test case chart

    All charts roll up the information for any child test suites of the test plan or test suite that you selected.

  3. Select the chart type. Based on the chart, configure the fields that you want to use to group by, for rows and columns, or the range (trend charts only).

    Choose the chart type; choose the fields for the chart

    You can't group by test suite for the test case charts.

  4. Save the chart. Now it will be displayed in the charts page for the test plan or test suite that you selected.

If you want to know the priorities of these tests, create a stacked bar chart. Select Area path for the Y-axis and Priority for Group by.
