# Reporting Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who is this for?** QA managers, engineering managers, and VPs who need clear visibility into test health, pass rates, flakiness trends, and release readiness — without manual spreadsheet tracking.
{% endhint %}

ContextQA centralizes all test quality data into a set of dashboards and reports so every stakeholder has the right view of what is happening across the test suite. From a real-time execution feed to AI-generated quality observations, the reporting layer surfaces the information you need without requiring manual spreadsheet tracking or log diving.

## Who uses reporting in ContextQA?

| Role                                | Primary concern                                                                        | Recommended starting point                     |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **QA engineer**                     | Did my last run pass? What failed and why?                                             | Execution Dashboard → test run detail          |
| **QA manager**                      | What is our overall pass rate, flakiness, and coverage trend?                          | Dashboard → Execution Dashboard → Coverage tab |
| **Developer**                       | Which specific step failed, what did the UI look like, and what is the fix suggestion? | Test result detail page → Failure Analysis     |
| **Engineering manager / executive** | Are we shipping with confidence? How is quality trending across sprints?               | Dashboard → Insight tab → RBT tab              |

## What is available

### Main Dashboard

The **Dashboard** (accessible from the left sidebar) is your command center. It shows:

* Total test case volume split by web, mobile, and API
* Daily activity trend comparing AI-driven actions (auto-heal, root cause analysis) versus human interventions
* A daily bar chart breaking down cases created, reviewed, executed, root-cause-identified, and auto-healed

Use the date range picker to scope all widgets to a sprint or release window. Toggle between line and bar chart modes on the activity trend widget.

### Execution Dashboard

The **Execution Dashboard** gives a live and historical view of every test run. Key panels include:

* Run-level summary: total executed, passed, failed, aborted, and success rate versus previous period
* Execution trend graph: daily pass/fail/aborted counts over time
* Test distribution widget: environment breakdown (web, mobile, API)
* Consistently failing test cases: a ranked list with root cause and failure count per case

### Coverage Dashboard

The **Coverage** tab inside the Execution Dashboard shows which application modules have test coverage and which do not. Each module card lists positive, negative, and ad-hoc scenarios and flags unresolved issues with a red badge.

### Insight and Risk-Based Testing

The **Insight** tab surfaces test health and readiness blockers — missing test data, broken prerequisites — with priority, source, and status for each blocker. The **RBT (Risk-Based Testing)** tab provides a heatmap matrix mapping test cases and defects against business priority and usage frequency so you can direct effort toward the highest-risk areas.

### Test Result Detail Pages

Each individual test execution has a detail page showing step-by-step pass/fail results, screenshots, video replay, and downloadable Playwright trace files. See [Test Results](https://learning.contextqa.com/reporting/test-results) for a full walkthrough.

### Failure Analysis

The failure analysis view provides AI-generated root cause explanations, fix suggestions, and flaky test detection. Failures can be pushed directly to Jira or Azure DevOps. See [Failure Analysis](https://learning.contextqa.com/reporting/failure-analysis).

## FAQs

<details>

<summary>How do I scope dashboard data to a specific sprint or date range?</summary>

Use the date range picker at the top-right of the Dashboard page to filter all widgets to a specific window. You can select a preset (last 7 days, last 30 days) or define a custom range.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I export test results for stakeholder reporting?</summary>

Yes. See [Exporting Reports](https://learning.contextqa.com/reporting/exporting-reports) for instructions on downloading results as PDF or CSV, and for sharing report links with stakeholders who don't have a ContextQA login.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Where do I see which tests are consistently flaky?</summary>

The Execution Dashboard's **Consistently failing test cases** panel ranks tests by failure count. The [Failure Analysis](https://learning.contextqa.com/reporting/failure-analysis) view provides AI-generated root cause explanations and flaky test detection across your suite.
