Test Reporting
Allure generates the most visually impressive test reports in the automation ecosystem. The default output is already useful — but the teams that get the most from Allure are those who invest in customization. Categories, behaviors, environments, and history trends transform Allure from a pretty report into a diagnostic tool. This
Test Reporting
Most teams get Allure working in an afternoon: install the plugin, run tests, generate the report. But the basic setup only scratches the surface of what Allure can do. This guide covers the advanced features that turn Allure from a pretty HTML report into a genuine quality intelligence tool: failure
Allure
Allure Report's Categories feature classifies test failures by root cause (product defect, infrastructure failure, test issue). The Trends section shows pass/fail rates over time. Together they answer: "Why did tests fail?" and "Are we getting better or worse?" Key Takeaways Categories classify failures

Serenity BDD bridges the gap between automated tests and documentation. Instead of test results that only engineers can read, Serenity generates living documentation — narrative reports that describe what the system does in business language, backed by evidence from actual test runs. What Is Serenity BDD? Serenity BDD (formerly Thucydides) is

At a certain scale, spreadsheets and CI artifact tabs break down as test reporting solutions. When dozens of QA engineers run thousands of tests daily across multiple projects, you need a dedicated test reporting platform. ReportPortal is the open-source answer to that problem. What Is ReportPortal? ReportPortal is a

Plain Mocha test output gets the job done in local development, but in CI environments and for team review, you need richer reporting. Mochawesome generates beautiful, interactive HTML reports with test details, timing, code snippets, and failure screenshots — all in a self-contained file you can share or archive. What

ExtentReports generates interactive HTML test reports with rich logging, screenshots, categories, and dashboards. It integrates with JUnit, TestNG, NUnit, and MSTest, making it a popular choice for teams who need more control over report content than framework-default reporters provide. What Is ExtentReports? ExtentReports is a test reporting library that

JUnit XML is the lingua franca of test reporting. Originally a JUnit (Java) format, it's been adopted by every major test framework across every language. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and most other CI platforms can parse and display JUnit XML natively. Understanding how to generate and
Test Reporting
Running tests is table stakes. Understanding what the results mean over time — that's where teams actually improve their quality practice. Test trend analysis is the discipline of reading patterns from test result history: which tests are reliable, which are lying to you, which parts of the codebase have
Test Reporting
A test report that no one reads is noise. A test failure that doesn't create a Jira ticket gets forgotten. A CI build that breaks but doesn't alert anyone in Slack lets bugs sit for days. Integrating test reports into the tools your team already uses
Test Reporting
As test automation grows from dozens to thousands of test cases, understanding why tests are failing becomes harder than running them. ReportPortal addresses this directly: it's an open-source test reporting and analytics platform built for teams that run large-scale automation. Unlike simple JUnit report viewers, ReportPortal
Test Reporting
Most CI pipelines collect test results and then throw them away. The JUnit XML file gets archived, the pipeline moves on, and nobody looks at the trend until something catastrophically breaks. A Grafana dashboard changes that. By routing test result data into a time-series store, you get visibility into
