Active test runs

The active test runs widget shows the current status of all active test runs. It helps you quickly see if tests are passing, failing, blocked, or need attention.

Summary of widget data and visualization

This widget presents the current status of test cases using easy-to-understand metrics and a clear visual chart. It helps you quickly identify how many tests have passed, failed, or need attention.

Color Status Description
N/A Total Test Cases The number of test cases currently running.
Green Passed Tests that ran without issues.
Red Failed Tests that found issues needing fixes.
Grey Untested Tests that have not started yet.
Orange Skipped Tests intentionally not run.
Yellow Retest Tests marked to run again.
Purple Blocked Tests that cannot run because of other problems.

Use cases and actionable insights

The active test runs help you keep projects on track by identifying test statuses clearly. It enables quick decisions and clear actions for everyone involved in software testing, regardless of role or experience.

Insight Action
Quickly spot how many tests are failing or blocked. Click directly on the doughnut chart segments for Failed or Blocked tests. This opens detailed results, letting you identify and fix issues promptly.
See if many tests remain untested or skipped. Evaluate if tests are delayed or intentionally skipped. Discuss with your team to confirm if these tests should run now or later.
Understand testing health across specific code branches. Use filters to select a branch. Immediately see if recent changes have caused new problems or resolved existing issues.

Interpreting test data

Interpreting test data correctly helps you respond quickly and accurately. Here are simple guidelines to understand common patterns in the test results:

If you see It means What to do
A sudden increase in tests marked as Failed. A recent update introduced bugs. Immediately review recent code changes and address the issue.
Many tests with the Blocked status. There is a dependency issue, such as a service outage or missing resource. Identify and resolve the external blockage or alert the responsible team promptly.
Consistently high numbers of Retest or Skipped tests. Tests are being deferred or avoided unnecessarily. Verify test priorities with your team. Clarify when these tests need to run, ensuring critical tests are not overlooked.

Using these insights ensures testing remains accurate, timely, and effective.
