Results and reports
Understand failures, review proof, and share a clear testing result.
Start with the summary
Check how many scenarios passed, failed, or did not finish. Confirm that the run covered the intended release journey before reading the score.
Investigate a failure
- 1
Open the first failed step
Later failures can be a result of the first problem.
- 2
Compare expected and actual
Check what the scenario expected and what the browser found.
- 3
Assign the cause
Decide whether the issue is in the product, test, data, or environment.
Use the evidence
Use screenshots, step details, status, and timing together. A screenshot gives context, but it does not replace a clear expected result.
Make a decision
Record what is blocked, who owns the next action, and whether another run is required. A report is useful when it leads to a clear next step.
