Dashboard Widgets

In the Dashboard feature, there are numerous widgets available in the Dashboard that can be utilized to display valuable data. Dashboard widgets provide a clear view of important metrics, making it easier to monitor testing activities for individuals or a whole group.

The dashboard is useful for daily use across your team, including project managers, testers, and the development team.

1. Manage Dashboard Widgets

1.1. Choose Widget

In the Dashboard, users have the option to scroll and browse through the widget library located on the left-side panel to choose the most suitable widget.

2. Understand Widget Functions

Test Execution Results

This widget provides an overview of overall progress, test execution results, and reported defects within a specified timeframe.

Users have the option to filter data based on various timeframes such as 'this week', 'last week', 'this month', 'last month', 'last 30 days', 'this quarter', or even a custom range (with start and end dates).

Hover over the statuses to toggle the visibility of specific data on the charts.

Test Execution Summary

This widget summarizes test execution details, including the total number of executions and their status (executed or not executed) within a specified timeframe. Users can filter data by periods such as ‘this week,’ ‘last week,’ ‘this month,’ ‘last month,’ ‘last 30 days,’ ‘this quarter,’ or a custom date range.

Additionally, users can filter the data by Versions, Components, and Labels to refine their view while reviewing the information.

Test Execution by Milestone

This pie chart illustrates the distribution of test executions across different milestones.

Test Case by Coverage

The ‘Test Case by Coverage’ widget displays a stacked bar chart showing the percentage of test cases relative to Requirement tickets. It represents eight statuses: ‘Todo,’ ‘In Progress,’ ‘Pass,’ ‘Fail,’ ‘Blocked,’ ‘Query,’ ‘Skipped,’ and ‘Retest,’ each in a distinct color for easy visualization.

You can click on any status in the chart to toggle its visibility and focus on the data you want to view.

Top Defects Impacting Testing

This widget displays a list of common defects that can impact test progress, organized into four columns: ‘Issue Key,’ ‘Summary,’ ‘Status,’ and ‘Test Affected.’

Users can filter defects based on various timeframes, including ‘this week,’ ‘last week,’ ‘this month,’ ‘last month,’ ‘last 30 days,’ ‘this quarter,’ or a custom date range with specified start and end dates.

Test Execution Results displays counts for each status, providing a clear view of current testing progress. The statuses include ‘Todo,’ ‘In Progress,’ ‘Pass,’ ‘Fail,’ ‘Blocked,’ ‘Query,’ ‘Skipped,’ and ‘Retest.’

Defects Reported During Test presents defect counts categorized into three groups: ‘To Do,’ ‘In Progress,’ and ‘Done.’

Test Execution Results by Environment

This horizontal stacked bar chart shows the percentage distribution of test execution results across eight categories: ‘Todo,’ ‘In Progress,’ ‘Pass,’ ‘Fail,’ ‘Blocked,’ ‘Query,’ ‘Skipped,’ and ‘Retest.’

Users can click on any status to hide unwanted statuses, allowing them to hide specific categories and focus on the data they want to see.

Test Management Overview

This widget offers an overview of the accumulated numbers for ‘Requirements,’ ‘Test Cases,’ ‘Test Plans,’ and ‘Test Executions’ over time.

Users can click on any category to navigate directly to its respective screen.

Test Coverage

A pie chart displays the percentage of requirements that are covered versus uncovered within a project.

Click on either status at the bottom to hide the corresponding group percentage and focus on specific data.

Requirement and Defects

A line chart illustrates the relationship between ‘Requirements’ and ‘Defects’ over a specified timeframe.

Click on ‘Requirements’ or ‘Defects’ to hide the respective data as needed.
