Reporting & Analytics

When you’re executing hundreds of tests at a time, with some passing and some failing, you need context to make most effective use of your time. Parasoft SOAtest helps users prioritize actions based on the results of test execution, with actionable reports that address quality in the application.

Users can publish functional test results into a centralized reporting dashboard, where the test results are summarized in easy-to-understand, dynamic widgets that enable navigation of all test results and execution details. Test failures can be assigned to different team members, who can then import failures assigned to them back into SOAtest.

With Parasoft SOAtest, users can automatically identify whether the test environment is ready for testing, and if it isn’t, what actions need to be taken to stabilize the test environment. To do this, SOAtest collects system-level information and looks for outages to help the user understand whether these will affect their tests.

Parasoft SOAtest helps users identify gaps in their API testing strategy by identifying services that were not fully exercised during test execution. SOAtest’s API Coverage report shows how each of the services and operations were tested and provides an end-point view of test results.

In Parasoft’s centralized reporting server, a dynamic coverage dashboard helps users explore which SOAtest test cases covered which lines of code. Armed with this information, testers can create the most optimized strategy for testing every one of their APIs.

Users can seamlessly integrate SOAtest test results into their application’s build-deploy integration test process by automatically publishing SOAtest’s functional test results into CI systems (i.e. Jenkins, Atlassian Bamboo, JetBrains TeamCity, and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services) in the same familiar way that those systems are already presenting unit test results.

Parasoft SOAtest’s rich and dynamic reporting system enables multiple stakeholders to understand the health of critical applications, with meaningful and actionable tasks displayed in various forms, from a printable PDF report to a dynamic multi-tiered HTML report outlining which tests executed, their status (successes and failures), and which requirements they are associated with. All reporting styles are highly customizable to the individual.

Parasoft can uniquely correlate functional and nonfunctional test results with the underlying API and code coverage, so users can understand the impact of code changes in context of their functional testing strategy, immediately analyzing where risky functionality needs to be tested as well as getting a holistic view of the entire software development  process.

In addition to sending data back into the CI infrastructure, test results can be published to Parasoft DTP‘s reporting and analytics dashboard for aggregation with quality data from across the development process and correlating with agile planning and test management systems such as JIRA, CollabNet VersionOne, QMetry, and Micro Focus ALM.
