Which of the following describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?
Which of the following describes how a test execution report is likely to be used?
A test execution report is typically used to understand which test step caused the failure in a test case. This helps in pinpointing the exact step where the test did not meet the expected outcome, aiding in troubleshooting and fixing issues. B describes a broader use related to tracking historical data, which is not usually included in a single test execution report. C is about measuring test coverage, which is not a primary function of a test execution report. D is related to recording how a failure was fixed, which is more likely to be a part of a defect tracking system rather than a test execution report.
5.4 Test Automation Reporting Option is to identify problematic parts of the SUT, is to keep a history of the reports, so that statistics about test cases or test suites with frequent regressions can be gathered.
A seens correct. "Option is to identify problematic parts of the SUT, is to keep a history of the reports, so that statistics about test cases or test suites with frequent regressions can be gathered"
Test reports dont usually contain historical data as they refer to a single test run (that is, each test case is only run once). But I guess you CAN implement a feature like that, so alternative B is as good as any. Actually B is slightly better, coz all the others are wrong.
