Testing Progress Forecast Report

The Testing Progress Forecast Report can help test and project managers understand whether their test cycles are on track based on the current velocity towards the project or cycle end date. Panaya will display the expected delay in calendar days if you are not on track. 

From within a Project - 

1. Select the Reports tab
2. Expand the Tests section and select the Testing Progress Forecast report
    
3. You can filter to view the progress of a specific Cycle or select All to view all cycles in the current Project.
   When selecting all Cycles, the planned end date in the graph corresponds to the project end date.
   Use the toggle to change the display between Tests / Steps.
    
    
4. The simulator below the graph allows you to forecast your end date by changing two parameters -
   • The number of Tests / Steps in scope to be tested in your Cycle / Project. This number is the total number of Tests / Steps remaining for today.
   • The number of daily passed Tests / Steps, based on your current daily average.
     
     Use these options to review different possible scenarios and take action
     The simulator takes into account business days only (excluding Saturday and Sunday)
     
     

The default values and limits of the forecast simulator -

• Tests / Steps in scope
  • The default value is based on the number of tests/steps in the scope
  • The maximum value allowed is 10 x the actual number (if the actual number is less than 10, the max value is 100)
• Daily Passed Tests / Steps
  • The default value is the actual velocity (based on the number of passed tests/steps from the start date)
  • The maximum value allowed is 10 x the actual velocity (if the actual velocity is less than 10/day, the max value is 100/day)
