Coverage Browser
The Coverage browser tool is used to analyze the result of the latest test runs and of the resulting test coverage of the following tracker types:
• Requirement
• User stories
• Epics
• Releases
• Test sets
• Test runs
You can access this tool in one of the following ways:
Select > then click on
and select > .
Click the coverage browser icon in the toolbar.
The coverage browser page appears as shown in the following image:
The main area contains a tree with several columns, depending on the selected filters. The first column is the Test Sets/Cases tree itself. The tree can contain three types of items:
• The items of the selected trackers.
• The test cases assigned to those items. The test case nodes are the children of the requirement nodes to which they are associated.
• The test runs of the test cases. These can be either quick test runs or normal test runs. As there might be large numbers of test runs, the test runs are not displayed by default. For information on displaying the test cases, see <link to the section about filtering the test coverage>.
The other columns in the grid include the following:
• Color—Select the Show Work Item Groups Color checkbox above the tree to display this column. If a tracker item has a color field or a tracker item has a subject with a color set, that color is displayed in this column.
• Coverage—Computed based on the most recent test runs. The results depend on whether the user checked the OR or the AND computation, and how the filters are set.
• Run by—The user who runs the test case. Shown only for test runs.
• Test Cases—The number of test cases that are verifying this requirement.
• Coverage Analysis—The most recent result of all test cases that verify this requirement. This data is aggregated upwards, for example, the test case executions of a child requirement contribute to the parent. The bar itself displays the ratio of successful, failed, blocked, and not-yet-run test cases. For instance, a full-green bar means that all test cases that verify this requirement or any of its children have executed successfully. This result depends on how the filters are set.
• Run at—The time when the test case was run.
An item with a status of Closed or Resolved is only displayed on the Release Coverage page if the Resolution field of the item is empty or the meaning of the item resolution is successful.
