Final System Test Report and Awareness in Its Main Elements

by TestFortExpert on 04/20/2012

Test reports are distributed and generated during the test performance cycles.

After finishing all the test cycles the final summary report is made.

Final’s report structure:

1. The test project’s introduction. The purpose of the test report is summarized according to the test plan in the test project introduction section. The following information is included:

Project’s name
Software image’s name
Document’s revision history of this
Definitions & Terminology
Testing staff
Document’s scope
References

2. Test results summary. The test results for each test category, which are identified in the test plan, are summarized in the test results section. The test results are summarized in the form of the numbers of test cases failed, passed, invalid, untested and blocked in each test cycle. And the reasons for not carrying out some test cases in software testing process. Several reasons can cause the unchecked test such as difficulty in creating the test scenario using the available test bed setup and unavailability of equipment. The last case may be possible only in at a real beta-testing site. The following data are given in this section for each test cycle:

Completion and Start dates
Number of defects filed
Defects number in different states, such as FAD, irreproducible, shelved, closed, postponed, duplicate, open and assigned.

The problems are still present in the system, including any likelihood of failure or shortcoming. They are gathered in this section in terms of their potential impact on the customers and their levels of severity.

3. Characteristics of performance. The system response time, resource utilization, delay measurement results and throughput are described in the performance characteristics section of the document along with the test tools and environments used in the measurement process.

4. Limitations of scaling. The system’s limits are formulated in the section of scaling limitation of the document based on the scalability testing findings. The facilities and tools that are used in scaling testing are described here.

5. Observations of stability. The stability observation section includes the following information:

Hours number spent in the system
Crashes number observed by different groups, such as SIT, software development team and ST, in the test cycles weekly.
Descriptions of defects symptoms, which causing system crash that are in the state, that cannot be reproduced.

6. System’s interoperability. We point in the section of interoperability, those third-party hardware and software systems, which were subjected to the system interoperability tests.

7. Software/hardware reconcilable matrix. A table demonstrates what software versions are reconcilable with what hardware revisions in the software/hardware reconcilable matrix section.

8. Status of compliance requirement. At last, in the section of compliance requirement status, there is a compliance statistics summarized by generating them from the requirements database.

Making corresponding queries on the database produces the next reports:

Requirements that are in noncompliance, compliance or partial compliance with the software image.
Requirements that are checked by testing, inspection, analysis and demonstration.
Requirements covered by each test case.

We Work With

Having one outside team deal with every aspect of quality assurance on your software project saves you time and money on creating an in-house QA department. We have dedicated testing engineers with years of experience, and here is what they can help you with.

Software is everywhere around us, and it’s essential for your testing team to be familiar with all the various types and platforms software can come with. In 21+ years, our QA team has tested every type of software there is, and here are some of their specialties.

There are dozens of different types of testing, but it takes a team of experts to know which ones are relevant to your software project and how to include them in the testing strategy the right way. These are just some of the testing types our QA engineers excel in.

The success of a software project depends, among other things, on whether it’s the right fit for the industry it’s in. And that is true not just for the development stage, but also for QA. Different industry have different software requirements, and our team knows all about them.
