Test Plan Status Report

Description

The Test Plan Status is a report that extends the functionality found in the Test tab of Microsoft Test Manager.  While Test Manager can show you the completion status of the selected Test Suite, it does not show roll-up information when you have a hierarchy of suites.  This report is intended to fill that gap.

Deployment

Follow the instructions in Documentation > Report Installation to install this report in a team project’s SQL Server Reporting Services site.  This report uses the reporting site path to determine the current team project information.  This report must be installed under each team project that will use it.

Usage

The Test Plan Status report takes only one parameter, the name of a Test Plan. When run, the Test Plan Status report takes the Test Plan Name argument and reads the TFS Data Warehouse to pull in all of the then-current test run data for that plan.  The Test Plan Name list is populated from all of the test plans in the team project. 

Definitions

Interpretation

NOTE: The report will only show a Test Suite if that Suite or one of its children contains at least one Test Case.  Empty Test Suites do not display in the report. This is similar behavior to the Test Activity within Microsoft Test Manager. 

The report displays the following data for each Test Suite:

No Data Available for Report

When there is no data available based on the Test Plan selected the report will show a message stating:

No data was found for this Test Plan.  Test Suites will only appear in this view if the Suite contains one or more Test Cases. Test Suites will also appear if one of their child Suites contains one or more Test Cases.

This will be the case if there are no test cases in any of the test suites in the selected plan.  Adding a single test case anywhere in the plan (and waiting for the warehouse to be refreshed) will remove this message.
