Sign-off Report

2 min read

The Sign-off Report turns Execution Analysis into a single, shareable PDF for a release execution or a standalone test run. It is designed for sign-off, review, and records.

The report is titled for what it covers — Execution Sign-off Report for a release execution, or Test Run Sign-off Report for a standalone test run — and is generated from the same live data as the analysis view, including the frozen snapshot when the execution or test run is already completed.

Export The Report

Section titled “Export The Report”

  1. Open Analysis for the execution or test run.

  2. Select Export in the header.

  3. Wait for the report to build (charts are rendered before the file is created).

  4. The sign-off report PDF downloads automatically.

What The Report Contains

Section titled “What The Report Contains”

Cover

Section titled “Cover”

Report title, project, who generated it, the date, and any active filters. When the execution or test run is completed, it records the frozen snapshot “as of” date.

Executive Summary

Section titled “Executive Summary”

A plain-language summary of the verdict, coverage, pass rate, and logged defects.

Sign-off Gates

Section titled “Sign-off Gates”

The pass/fail readiness gates for the session — coverage, fail rate, open critical/blocking defects, and failures without a linked defect — each with a colored PASS or FAIL result.

Test Execution

Section titled “Test Execution”

Totals for executed, passed, failed, blocked, and skipped, with overall coverage and pass rate.

Coverage By Source

Section titled “Coverage By Source”

How the session is covered by requirement, test suite, and manual sources, with per-area coverage.

Top Failing Tests

Section titled “Top Failing Tests”

The failing test cases that need the most attention, and whether each already has a linked defect.

Defects And Quality

Section titled “Defects And Quality”

Linked-defect totals with severity, priority, and status breakdowns, plus defect aging.

Section titled “Trends”

For release executions, two charts (each on its own page):

  • Burndown — remaining testcases across the window versus the ideal line.
  • Defect trend — linked defects per day.

Standalone test runs do not include a trend section.

Snapshots And Sign-off

Section titled “Snapshots And Sign-off”

When an execution or test run is completed, its defect-derived analytics freeze to an “as of” snapshot, so an exported report is a stable record and will not drift if defects change later. Release executions also freeze when their parent release is completed or archived. See Frozen analytics snapshot.
