📚Prerequisites:

Web dashboards provide a way for you to visualize and assess your test automation results. They bring together test execution data from across different projects, including executions done using CI tools. This enables you to spot trends and keep an eye on progress as you move along your test automation journey.

To use this feature, you need:

  1. More RAM and storage space.

  2. A large data storage (at least 100 GB) on your database instance.

  3. Qualitia Automation Server with a minimum of 8 GB RAM.

  4. Configuration Settings that enable higher concurrency.

Here are the browsers we have tested the Web dashboard on:

Access to Qualitia Server machine and port 8887. Ensure you have access to port 8887 from the machine where Qualitia Server is installed.

To access web-based Dashboards:

  1. You can get to web-based Dashboards from any machine that is on the same network as the Qualitia Server.

  2. Type the Dashboard URL into any browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge.

  3. Log in with your QAS credentials.

  4. The Dashboard shows data for the projects assigned to your user.

In QAS, you can find URL of web-based Dashboard in the Automation Insights section of the Dashboard.

The URL includes the Hostname/IP:Port from the machine where Qualitia server is installed, followed by the dashboard URL. That is, qualitia-reports/dashboard. The default port number is 8887, which you can change when you install the Qualitia server.

 Here's an example of what the URL might look like:

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

  • http://localhost:8887/qualitia-reports/dashboard

When you log in, on the top-right side, you can see the date and time of the last update to Dashboard. If there is no data to the dashboard (like just after you have installed or upgraded QAS, since the Dashboard only refreshes after midnight), you can see the Not yet updated message.

Refresh and Use Dashboard

The Dashboard gets updated every day at midnight. So, if you run some test cases today, you can see the results in the Dashboard only tomorrow.

  1. For a project, the Dashboard shows data from the last 30 days. You can choose the test execution dates you want to see using the filter at the top of the screen. There are also other filters like project, suite, etc.

  2. To get more information about any bar or line in a chart, just move your mouse pointer over it.

  3. If a test case is run multiple times in the selected time frame, each run is counted when loading the metrics and charts.

  4. If there's no data for the selected filter criteria, you get a message in the widget indicating there's nothing to display.
