Release Sign-off Report
3 min read
The Release Sign-off Report turns Release Analysis into a single, shareable PDF. It is designed for release sign-off, stakeholder review, and long-term records, so teams can capture release quality at a point in time without asking everyone to open the app.
The report is generated from the same live data as Release Analysis, so it always reflects the current view — including the frozen snapshot when the release is already completed or archived.

Section titled “Export The Report”-

The file is named for the release and can be shared, attached to a sign-off ticket, or archived alongside the release.
What The Report Contains
Section titled “What The Report Contains”The report follows the same story as Release Analysis, one section per area.
The cover page shows the report title, project, who generated it, the date, and any active filters. When the release is completed or archived, it also records the frozen snapshot “as of” date so readers know the figures are a point-in-time record.
AI Narrative And Executive Summary
Section titled “AI Narrative And Executive Summary”A short, plain-language narrative of release health, followed by an executive summary of coverage, pass rate, open defects, and requirement verification.
Sign-off
Section titled “Sign-off”The sign-off section is the heart of the report.
Release Readiness Dashboard — one row per dimension, each scored 0–100 with a status of Healthy, Needs Attention, At Risk, or Not Ready, plus a short reason.
| Dimension | Score | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test Execution | 0–100 | One of four levels | Execution coverage |
| Quality | 0–100 | One of four levels | Pass rate |
| Defect Health | 0–100 | One of four levels | Open critical load, aging, reopens |
| Requirements | 0–100 | One of four levels | Requirements verified |
| Overall Release Readiness | 0–100 | One of four levels | Weighted blend of the above |
Go / No-Go criteria — the pass/fail gates behind the verdict, each with a colored PASS or FAIL result.
Execution Health — one row per child execution, with a verdict on the same four-level scale.
| Execution | Coverage | Pass Rate | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Each child execution | Coverage % | Pass rate % | One of four levels |
Test Execution
Section titled “Test Execution”Overall totals (executed, passed, failed, blocked, skipped, coverage) plus a per-execution rollout table.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”Requirement coverage for the release — how many requirements are verified, in progress, or uncovered.
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 and SLA signals.
Trends
Section titled “Trends”Two charts, each on its own page:
- Burndown — remaining testcases across the release window versus the ideal line.
- Defect trend — linked defects per day across the release window.
Snapshots And Sign-off
Section titled “Snapshots And Sign-off”When a release is Completed or Archived, Release Analysis freezes its defect-derived figures to a snapshot taken at sign-off. Because the report reads from that same view, an exported report for a completed or archived release is a stable record — it will not drift if defects are linked or changed later. See Snapshot on completed or archived.
