Dashboards provide the capability to analyze the results of the test suites executed using Qualitia Automation Studio. They help product owners, managers, and testers  to get a holistic and comprehensive view of execution results across projects and test environments.

You can access the Web-based dashboards from the Automation Insights section.

Installation Process for Reports and Dashboards Portal

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. 

Prerequisites

Web-based Dashboards allows you to visualize and analyze your test automation results in various ways. The dashboard consolidates test execution data across projects, including executions run using CI tools. This provides you the capability to view trends and monitor progress along your test automation journey.

In order to serve the purpose, this feature will require:

• Higher RAM and Storage
  • Higher data storage of (at least 100 GB) on database instance
  • Qualitia Automation Server with minimum 8 GB of RAM
  • Configuration Settings enabling higher concurrency
    
    
• Browsers:

We have tested this Web dashboard on following browsers versions:

• Access to Qualitia Server machine and port 8887:

You must have access to port 8887 from the machine where Qualitia Server is installed.

Accessing Web-Based Dashboards

You can access these dashboards using any machine in the network where Qualitia server is installed. To access these dashboards, just enter the dashboard URL in any browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge) and enter your Qualitia credentials.

Dashboard data will be displayed for the projects which are assigned to this user. 

This Web dashboard URL is available in the Automation Insights section of Dashboard in Qualitia Automation Studio. 

Dashboard URL contains the Hostname/IP:Port from the machine where Qualitia server is installed followed by the dashboard URL i.e. qualitia-reports/dashboard. By default, system uses port number 8887 which users can change while installing Qualitia server.

The sample URL may look like:

• http://192.168.25.xx:8887/qualitia-reports/dashboard
• http://localhost:8887/qualitia-reports/dashboard

Last Updated

On logging in, the dashboard displays date and time when it was last updated in the top right corner. If there is no data available for the dashboard to be displayed, (like immediately after the Qualitia automation studio installation or upgrade as dashboard gets refreshed only after midnight) it displays the text as 'Not yet updated'.

Dashboard Refresh Interval

The data in the dashboard gets refreshed every day at midnight. Details of the test cases executed on a particular day will be available in the dashboard next day.

Dashboards

Automation Test Progress Report

This section of the dashboard provides the cumulative number of test cases executed and their split per execution status. You can view the following information for the project and dates selected in the filter criteria.

• Tests Executed: Displays the total number of test cases that have been executed.
• Total Pass: Displays the total number of passed test cases.
• Total Fail: Displays the total number of failed test cases.
• Total Defects: Displays the total number of test cases that have defects.
• Tests Not Executed: Displays the total number of test cases that are marked for execution but did not get executed due to one reason or another.

You can click any number shown in the box to view the complete list of test cases with respective status.

30-Day Trend

The line in each box indicates the trend of these test cases for the 30-day period prior to the selected end date. Hovering on the markers on the line will provide information for the value at that point.

Test Execution Results Trend

This chart displays the trend of test case execution results over time. In this stacked column chart, each bar represents a single date (mentioned on the x-axis) and test execution results are stacked on each other. You can filter this chart for specific Date, Project or, Test Suite(s) based on your requirements by selecting corresponding options from the filters. The default view of the chart is at a day level. Higher levels like Week, Month, and so forth can be selected from the Group by filter provided. Colors of these stacks represent Qualitia test case execution results as follows:

• green refers to the passed test cases,
• red refers to the test cases with defects,
• amber refers to the failed test cases,
• grey refers to the test cases that are Not Executed.

Execution Trend on Web

This chart shows the total count of executions run on the Web, with a split by status for each platform.

You can filter the results based on the execution environment that includes browsers and operating systems, which are used while executing these test cases. The X-axis shows the execution environment details such as a browser or operating system details whereas the Y-axis shows the number of test case executions.

Execution Trend on Mobile

This chart shows the total count of executions run on Mobile devices, with a split by status for each platform

You can filter the test case based on the execution environment that includes mobile browsers and mobile operating systems which are used while executing these test cases. The X-axis shows the execution environment details such as a browser or operating system details whereas the Y-axis shows the number of test cases.

Test Execution Trend for Both (Mobile & Web Executions)

This stack column chart displays execution results for tests that have both Mobile & Web components. The x-axis shows the desktop / mobile browsers used while execution or the desktop / mobile operating systems where test cases were executed. The test case status is represented through stacks.

You can select whether you would like to view the chart for Web/Mobile/Both and whether you would like to see the chart for browsers or operating systems. The selected dimension forms the x-axis for the chart. You can also further filter and see only the specific Browser(s) or Operating System(s) that you would like to see in the chart. The Y-axis displays the number of test cases.

You can filter this chart based on the projects, suites and dates.

Hovering over the column displays the total number of test cases and the number of test cases for each status. You can click the column to view the complete list of test cases and other related information.

Failures by Browser

The vertical stacked columns in this chart displays the number of failed tests against the browsers on which the test cases were executed. For the purpose of this chart, test cases with occurrences of both, Defects and Failures, have been included to determine the number of failures. You can click any stack in the columns on the chart to view the detailed list of test cases and other related information.  This chart enables you to quickly identify whether there are any browser(s) on which test cases have higher incidence of defects or failures.

This chart considers test case executions for the web environment only. Also, if execution browser is not identified, such reports will fall under the unidentified section.

Failures by Operating System

The vertical stacked columns in this chart displays the number of failed tests against the operating system on which the test cases were executed. This chart considers all the test cases that are failed or have defects in them. You can click any stack from the columns in the chart to view the detailed list of test cases and other related information about the same. This chart enables you to quickly identify whether there are any operating systems on which test cases have higher incidence of defects or failures.

This chart considers test case executions for the web environment only. Also, if the operating system is not identified, such reports will fall under the unidentified section.

Test case classification by Failure Rate

This chart categorizes test cases based on their failure rate across the selected period. The purpose is to observe and list out the test cases that have a higher frequency of failures. The y-axis of the chart shows the number of test cases and the x-axis shows the failure frequency that categorizes the test cases. 

The failure rate of the test cases is calculated as follows:

Failure rate = (Total number of occurrences of Fail status / total number of occurrences of Passed, Failed, and Defected status) * 100

Note: While calculating this failure rate, test cases with the status not executed (status = -1) are not considered. Also, if any test case is executed multiple times, all the multiple instances are considered while calculating the failure rate.

Hover on any of the bars from the chart to view the Number of Test Cases with the failure rate.

Upon clicking any bar you can view complete list of test cases falling under the selected frequency rate .

This page shows the latest status of a test case and the execution trend per iteration across all suites. You can also filter test case list based on Suite Name. In an Iteration trend, it shows the status of all its executions along with iteration number.

The statuses of different test case executions are shown through the following colors:

• green refers to the passed test cases,
• red refers to the test cases with defects,
• amber refers to the failed test cases,
• grey refers to the test cases that are Not Executed.

Upon clicking an iteration, the drill-down displays the complete information of the corresponding test case iteration in the grid view.

Test Cases Created/Modified Report

This column chart displays the trend in the number of test cases created and modified in the selected project and date range. You can group the charts-based on date, week, month and year level. By default, data will be grouped by date.

For the purpose of this chart, suppose a test case was created and updated in the same day, it would only appear in the No. of test cases created column. 

The X-axis shows the dates on which the test cases were created and modified whereas the Y-axis shows the number of test cases. 

You click any column to view the complete list of test cases along with the test case(s) metadata which were created or modified at that time.

Suite Stability Comparison

This column chart helps us identify test suites which have a high failure rate across executions. You can filter this chart based on a Project, Dates and Test Suite(s). The x-axis shows names of the test suites whereas the Y-axis shows failure rate in percentage.

The failure percentage is calculated as: [(Number of occurrences of TCs with Fail Status) / (Number of occurrences of TCs with Pass, Fail or Defect status)] * 100

You can hover over column to view name of the test suite and the percentage of failure in the tooltip and you can click the column to view the detailed information about the suite in the drill view.

To view more charts specifically about the suite executions, click the icon and you will be navigated to another page.

Suite Stability Trend

This line graph helps to plot the percentage of the failure across suite executions and shows the trend in this metric over time. The trend line enables the user to observe if the number of failures has increased/decreased over time, and thereby, identify whether the suite is stabilized. The y-axis plots percentage of failure and the x-axis displays suite execution dates.

Failures are counted using the formula = [(Total number of occurrences of TCs with Fail Status) / (total number of occurrences of TCs with Pass, Fail or Defect status)] * 100

You can filter this chart based on the date range and test suite. Charts are sorted on ascending order of dates. You can hover on a point to view date and the exact percentage of the failure.

Clicking on the line navigates user to the test case details of the execution for that suite.

Suite Execution Switches Between Two Iterations

This horizontal bar chart helps to analyze the behavior of test cases that were part of a test suite across two successive iterations. For comparison, you can select two iterations of the Test Suite using the drop-down options. By default, the latest 2 suite iterations are selected for the comparison. This chart classifies the behavior of the test cases into the following four categories:

• Pass to Fail: This category represents test cases that passed in the 1st selected iteration and Failed (or had a Defect) in the 2nd selected iteration.
• Fail to Fail: This category represents test cases that failed in both the iterations.
• Fail to Pass: This category represents test cases that failed in the 1st iteration and passed in the 2nd iteration.
• Pass to Pass: This category represents test cases that were consistently passing in both the iterations. Analyzing this chart, you can get a list of test cases that need to be looked at on priority.

In the context of this chart, a test case that has either failed or had a defect will be considered as Failed.

Hovering over a bar shows the category and the number of test cases in that category.

Suite Execution Time Statistics Across Last 5 Iterations

This is a dual Y-axis combo column chart. The left side Y-axis shows the execution time in seconds and the right-side Y-axis shows the number of test cases which were part of the test case execution. This chart displays data for a test suite across the last 5 iterations. You can select the desired suite from the top right corner of the page. If a Suite has fewer than 5 iterations for the date range selected, then the chart will display as many iterations are available for that Suite during that period. The column shows the execution time metric and the line represents the number of test cases executed as a part of the suite execution. The x-axis displays iteration numbers.

Hovering over the column shows the name of the metric and its value, and the iteration number of the Suite in a tool-tip.

Test Cases with Defects and Failures

Defects Logged Report

This report shows a grid view of defects that have been logged by Qualitia with the defect management tool, after the test case execution. This includes defects that have been logged automatically after the test case executions and defects that are logged from the Reports section of Qualitia Automation Studio.

This report displays details of the actual defects logged with the defect management system, and hence the number of defects shown in this report will not be the same as the number of test case occurrences with Defect status shown in the KPIs and other charts of the dashboard. The report is displayed based on the Date, Projects, and Test Suites selected in the main dashboard page.

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.

Drill View - Grid showing test case level details

Test Case Execution Drill View informs about some important aspects associated with the execution of test cases in QAS. This view displays the metadata about these test cases execution date, the start and end time, host where the test case was executed and which platform it was run against, and so forth. All this information is presented in the form of a grid.

This view displays the attributes in the following order: Date, Project Name, Test Suite Name, Test Suite Type, Test Scenario Name, Test Script Name, User (who executed the test script), Status, Execution Platform, Browser Name, Browser Version, OS Name, OS Version, Host Name, Host Type, Mobile Browser Name, Mobile Browser Version, Mobile OS Name, Mobile OS Version, Mobile Host Name, Test Case Name, Test Case Author, Test Case Priority, Execution Start Time, Execution End Time, Run Duration.

These attributes are classified into meaningful groups as mentioned below:

• All environment-related columns are grouped together with headers in the green color.
• All other attribute headers are displayed in the blue color.

You can invoke drills from other views of the dashboard to view contextual information. At such times, only the filtered data is displayed matching the drilled down conditions.

For example, if you click the number from the ‘Tests Executed’ box of the automation test progress report, the Drill view displays only the list of test cases that are executed for the selected project and date range.

Datamart Refresh Status

The data shown in the dashboards is fetched from a datamart, which consolidates test executions data from associated Qualitia Project and Results databases. This datamart database is currently updated once every day using an Extract, Transform and Load Process.

This chart displays the history of datamart loading events. It helps to identify if any failures have occurred when loading the datamart, and confirm that the data on the dashboard is correct and up to date.

The chart displays this information in a simple grid form with the start and the end time of the datamart process and the status against it. In the cases of failures, this chart shows the failure point and possible reason for failure, which helps to identify the area that needs to be fixed, for successfully loading the datamart.

This chart shows 5 records per page, and you can use the pagination options to view further records.

Platform Utilization Heatmap

This chart illustrates the overall utilization of the automation platform during the current year in a calendar view with a heatmap. You can easily view the number of test cases that have been run across the year on the daily basis. This number is a combination of test cases executed using automation studio and test cases executed using the CI tools (through offline packages). Only offline executions run in a connected mode with QAS Server will be included in this chart as the results for these would have been synced with QAS. Complete offline executions will be included only if their results have been manually imported into QAS using the offline report utility.

This chart illustrates the usage of the automation platform with different colors. A heatmap uses a proportionate color scheme where red indicates the least number of test case executions whereas green indicates the high number of test case executions. In case there are no test cases executed on any day, that field is left blank (white) for easy identification.

You can filter this chart to view the total number of test cases executed or the total number of hours for which automation platform is utilized for test case execution. When the view by test efforts is selected, you can view the details by hovering your mouse pointer on the desired field.

You can also view the complete list of test cases in the grid view by clicking in the field.

Real Time Reporting Portal

Introduction

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 Suite of Suites Screen.
• 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. 

Accessing Real Time Reporting Portal

To access Real Time Reporting Portal, you need to contact Qualitia Admin who installed Qualitia Server to get the Reports and Dashboards URL.

Alternatively, you can access the real time reports from the Reports tab of Qualitia Client.

Pre-Requisites

Before you start test suite execution either through Qualitia Client or Offline Package, you must ensure the following:

• Enable the Real Time Reporting checkbox in the mapped execution profile or Systems Execution Profile Settings.

• The Real Time Reporting Server has enough drive space to displays test suite results. For more information, refer to Server Space Notification.
• For an offline suite execution, your computer is connected to Qualitia Server. Also, you need to specify the Qualitia Server URL in the Settings tab of Qualitia Offline Configuration Manager. 

Additional Configurations for Log Files

You can customize the logs generated with suite execution results in the mapped execution profile or Systems Execution Profile Settings as shown in the following table:

Suite of Suites Screen

The Suite of Suites screen shows the list of the test suite executions associated with the projects to which you have access. You can choose to view the test suite executions that are in progress, completed, aborted or all of them. It also updates the in progress test suite executions in terms of percentage.

For every test suite, it displays the following details:

• Test Suite Environment Details

  • Shows the test suite name, machine name, IP address, and project name.

  • Qualitia denotes the test suite execution is through a Qualitia Client and Offline denotes the offline suite execution. If the offline suite is executed through a Continuous Integration (CI) tool, then the CI tool name is specified beside the suite execution result.

  • Mouseover on the Environment Icon to view the operating system and browsers used for test case execution.

• The total execution duration

• Test Suite Execution Details

  • The total number of test cases, with details of the number of test cases that passed, failed, have defects, and are not executed. It also shows a progress chart with the completion percentage for the executions in the process.
    

Server Space Notifications

As the number of suite executions increase, the available drive space where Real Time reporting assets are stored starts reducing. The Real-time reporting portal shows a notification when the available drive space is:

• 10% to 30%: A warning message in amber appears at the top of the Portal page, which indicates the amount of drive space available along with the percentage. You must monitor the drive space and ensure that it does not reduce to less than 10%.

• Less than 10%: A warning message in red appears at the top, which indicates that Real Time Reporting cannot display information on new suite executions. Also, you cannot upload or save a report.

In both cases, you need to contact the Qualitia Admin to purge reports. For detailed instructions on how to purge reports, refer to Purging Reports. 

Filtering a Test Suite List
