Increasing test automation stability and visibility

Challenges

  • 2,000 unique tests had low stability (25% passing rate)

  • Complex and inconvenient test results reporting

  • QA team didn’t have capacity to analyze the results of failed tests

  • Automation results were ignored by decision makers: no analysis of the causes of failed tests, no trust in the automation testing process

  • Absence of clear reporting of QA engineers’ workload and performance

Case Study: how to increase test automation stability and visibility thanks to our test reporting tool

Highlights

Integration with ReportPortal allowed the client to:
  • Collect history for previous test runs

  • Identify passing, failing, and unstable tests

  • Assign unstable test for refactoring and add them to a separate run for implementation

  • Configure ReportPortal charts to track a refactoring progress

  • Accelerate failure analysis through access to related logs, screenshots, and attachments in one place

Benefits & Results

  • Automation stability improved from 25% to 95%

  • Analysis efforts of QA engineers decreased by 10 times

  • Client stakeholders use ReportPortal data to make release decisions

  • ReportPortal became the main tool for tracking test automation progress and health
