Coverage Metrics
The Coverage Metrics Dashboard provides insights into test coverage metrics like automation coverage, historical trends and how test cases are distributed based on priority and testing type.
Automation Coverage
Definition
Test automation coverage refers to the extent to which automated tests cover various features and functionalities of a software application. It measures the effectiveness of automated testing in ensuring that critical paths and scenarios are tested thoroughly.
Metric Importance
- Early Detection of Defects: Comprehensive test automation coverage helps in the early detection of defects, minimizing the chances of defects escaping to production.
- Regression Testing Efficiency: Automation ensures rapid and consistent execution of regression tests, allowing teams to quickly catch the issues in regressions.
- Resource Optimization: Well-automated test suites reduce the manual testing effort, allowing developers to focus on creative and complex tasks.
Potential Bottlenecks and How to Mitigate Them
- Overemphasis on UI Automation: Balance UI automation with API and unit testing. Focus on testing at different levels to ensure comprehensive coverage.
- Maintenance Challenges: Regularly review and update automated test scripts to align with application changes to avoid an increase in flakiness or degrading test-suite stability.
