3. Test Reporting
in STLC
 Software test life cycle consists of different
components such as
 Understanding the requirement
 Creating test plan
 Creating and/or re-using the existing test
cases
 Creating test cycle to plan the test execution
 Create and retest identified defects
 Each phase has a certain time limit hence its
required to plan each task as per the schedule
 Test reporting is the part of test execution phase

4. Test Reporting
Reports are crucial part of
software test life cycle
Reports are evidences that are
produced during and/or after
the test execution phase
This is the important artifact
which can be shared with the
project stakeholders to
update about the current
progress of the project
It is helpful to know if team
has any obstacles or any
blockers and it can be
addresses early in the phase
Reports helps to know the
percentage of the passed,
failed, blocked and yet to run
test cases

5. When to
create
report?
Software tester, test
analyst or test
managers can produce
the reports during the
test execution phase
It can be created
either at mid or end of
the cycle or once the
test execution phase is
over
Test execution reports
generated at the end
of each test execution
cycle helps to know
the progress of the
selected cycle
Test execution report
generate at the end of
test execution phase
gives us idea about
the blocked or known
issues identified by the
team and blocked test
cases with the their
priorities
It helps managers or
leads to take the go or
no go decisions for
the product release
