 4. Why Test Failure Analysis Is Key To Faster Delivery

WHY TEST FAILURE ANALYSIS IS KEY TO FASTER DELIVERY

DevOps
Automation

By Eran Kinsbruner

Test reporting and analytics is the area of testing where value is realized and
quality is improved. It is highly critical to the quality of your apps and the
speed of your releases. Here, learn everything you need to know about test
failure analysis.

Read along or jump ahead to whichever section interests you most:

 * What Is Test Failure Analysis?
 * The Importance of Test Failure Analysis
 * Critical Features of Test Failure Analysis
 * Perfecto Offers the Best Test Failure Analysis
 * Get Better Test Failure Analysis
    

 


WHAT IS TEST FAILURE ANALYSIS?

> Test failure analysis is the process of analyzing a failed test to see what
> went wrong. Teams inspect failed tests in order to find the root cause of a
> failure. Failure analysis in software testing allows them to fix defects and
> prevent them from recurring.


THE IMPORTANCE OF TEST FAILURE ANALYSIS

Testing is often the bottleneck of DevOps. Testing CAN be slow and tedious, but
it doesn’t have to be. Test automation certainly helps — but you also need fast
feedback. To overcome testing delays, you need visibility into how your tests
perform. And that is why test failure testing is so important.

Without a good test reporting solution, teams...

 * Lack visibility into test performance.
 * Have to sift through large amounts of results.
 * Experience significant delays.
 * Unable to distinguish between noise and real defects

Test automation failure analysis is a key pillar of continuous testing. It is
the only way to get visibility into how your tests perform. Continuous testing
creates a lot of test results data. But test automation failure analysis helps
you sift through it, quickly identify defects, and fix bugs faster.

Testing teams need test failure analysis solutions in order to avoid
bottlenecks. However, not all test reporting is created equally. There are some
critical features you need to look for in a solution.


CRITICAL FEATURES OF TEST FAILURE ANALYSIS

Here are some important features that are helpful in test reporting solutions:

 * Root cause analysis — Get failure reasons to understand what really went
   wrong in your tests.
 * Actionable insights — Step-by-step drill-downs take the guesswork out of
   fixing defects, so you can debug apps easily.
 * False negative filtering — Cut down the noise so you can focus on real
   defects. False negative filtering eliminates red flags caused by things like
   lab issues or popups.
 * Rich test artifacts — Rich artifacts in your test reports can help you fix
   defects quicker. See what went wrong in the test with screenshots, videos,
   HAR files, crash logs, and more.
 * High level overviews — Features like heat maps are useful for executives to
   get a quick glance at the performance of your tests.
 * Dashboards — It’s important to have a singular view of all testing activities
   in one place. A dashboard that syncs all test results is an important feature
   for test reporting.
 * Enterprise-grade — You want a solution that can handle the large amounts of
   data you encounter through test automation.
