Coverage on the Map
2 min read
Use coverage on the map to see which parts of your app have tests, how those tests did, and where there are none.
Every item on the map has a health state — a coverage colour. An area is coloured by everything nested inside it.
The Six Health States
Section titled “The Six Health States”| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unmapped | Nothing is linked to this item yet. Not a gap — just a heading |
| Uncovered | Something is linked (a folder or requirement), but no test case reaches it |
| Failing | A test reached it and failed or was blocked |
| Not yet passed | It has tests, but none has passed yet |
| Stale | Passing, but not run in the last 90 days |
| Healthy | Passing, and run recently |
Select an item to see its numbers in the inspector (the details panel): Tests, Passed, Failed, Not run, plus open defects and when it last ran. Switch between With children and This node to include or leave out the items nested inside it.
How the Numbers Add Up
Section titled “How the Numbers Add Up”An item’s coverage includes everything linked to it and to the items nested inside it. Each test case is counted once, even if it’s linked under two child items, so an area never looks better covered than it is. Atlas uses the same rules as the traceability matrix, so the two always agree.
Recompute Coverage
Section titled “Recompute Coverage”Coverage reflects test results at the time it was last worked out. After a test run finishes, select Recompute coverage in the Analyze group of the action rail to bring the map up to date.
See the Map for One Release or Test Run
Section titled “See the Map for One Release or Test Run”To see how a specific run did, instead of everything that has ever run, open the Map tab on the analysis page:
-
Open Release Analysis for a release, or Execution Analysis for a test run. See Execution analysis.
-
Select the Map tab.
-
In Release Analysis, choose a single run if you want to narrow it further.
The map there is coloured by that release or run only, and you can’t edit it. For a quick readiness check, look at your critical journeys there.
Find Gaps on the Map
Section titled “Find Gaps on the Map”A good first pass over a new map:
- Uncovered items are real gaps.
- Unmapped screens usually mean nobody has linked their tests yet.
- Stale on anything critical is a quiet risk.
- Journey health shows a journey’s weakest step, so it reveals breaks an area’s colour can hide.
On the Map view, filter by health state to show only what you’re looking for.
