Web-based dashboard is a great way of understanding overall progress of the project. This provides the capability to analyze results of the test cases executed in Qualitia Automation Studio for Web, Mobile, Or Desktop applications.
You can either enable this dashboard functionality while installing/upgrading Qualitia Server or you can do it after you complete the installation or upgrade process.
Qualitia consumes an additional database (except master and project databases) for managing data related to the dashboard functionality.
To enable Reports and Dashboards Portal:
- Log on to the machine where you have installed Qualitia Server.
- Double-click the Qualitia Automation Studio Server icon.
The Welcome to Qualitia Setup Wizard screen appears. - Click Next.
The Database Server Details screen appears.
- Click Next.
- Select Enable Dashboard option and enter the desired name for the dashboard database.
- Click Next and then click Install.
Now you can access dashboards from the Dashboard section of Qualitia Automation Studio clients or using the dashboard URL on using any browser on any machine in the network.
Reports and Dashboard Portal URL contains the Hostname/IP:Port from the machine where Qualitia server is installed followed by the login page URL, that is, qualitia/sign-in. By default, system uses port number 8887 which users can change while installing Qualitia server.
The sample URL may look like:
You need to login and the landing screen contains the options to navigate to Web Dashboards, Real-time reporting or Server Administration portals, depending upon your user role in Qualitia.

Trends in Defects Logged by Automation Tool
This simple line chart plots the total number of defects that have been logged by Qualitia Automation Studio at the end of executions with the client’s defect management tool over a selected period.
The X-axis shows the dates in which test case executions have occurred whereas the Y-axis shows the number of defects that have been logged during test case executions.
You can filter this chart based on the Date, Project, and Suites. The default view of the chart is at a day level. Higher levels such as Week, Month, and so forth can be selected from the provided Group by filter.
Hover on a dot to view the exact number of defects and click the data point to view the complete list of defects and other relevant details about these defects.

The Real Time Reporting Portal allows you to monitor the test suite executions that are in progress or completed. It updates the results of a test suite execution in real-time after each step in the test case iteration is executed.
Also, QAS updates the local copy of the report after each task iteration is completed. If a test case does not have tasks, then it updates after each test case iteration execution is completed.
The Real Time Reporting Portal opens automatically when executing a test suite in the following ways:
- Through a Qualitia Client: It directly displays the (8.3.0 2) Reports and Dashboards Portal.
- Through an Offline Suite: It displays the login screen if the offline suite used is present on your machine and configured with the Qualitia Server. Ensure that you have access to the associated project to track the test suite execution progress.
| Info |

Real Time Reporting shows the reports of test cases executed through a TFS/Azure DevOps pipeline only after the pipeline execution is completed. Real Time Reporting Portal does not support test cases executed through HP ALM. |
Accessing Real Time Reporting Portal

The following details of the test suite are displayed.
| Report Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Status Icon | Indicates the number of test case iterations that have failed and have defects along with the total number of test case iterations.
