The Reusability Report is provided with the purpose to boost the efficiency of testing team with traceability, reusability and visible linkages with other test assets.

Reusability of a test case refers to the number of times that particular test case is associated with different requirements across projects. QMetry allows you to associate one test case with multiple requirements in same or other projects.

For example,
There are three different requirements -
1. Users log in with normal credentials.
2. Users log in with SAML authentication.
3. Users log in with LDAP authentication.

There is one test case - 1. Login Verification. This one test case can be associated with all the three requirements. Here, one test case is reused and linked with multiple test cases.

The instance of reusing test assets promotes effective test asset management. For the selected Project, the Reusability Report gives insights into reusability of test assets.

The report displays what percentage of your test cases are linked multiple times with different requirements versus test cases which are not linked with requirements. You can also drill down to the associated requirements.

Select the Project you want to generate and view the Reusability Report of.

The pie chart displays the proportion of Test Cases linked with Requirements vs. Test Cases not linked with Requirements.

Test Cases linked with Requirements: The test cases which are linked maximum times with requirements.
Test Cases not linked with Requirements: The test cases which are not linked with requirements.

The report gives overall picture of utilization of test cases and segregated test cases which are not reused. For ease of comprehension, it also decodes the quality of your test case reusability ratio.

The pie chart at right displays the count and percentage of Test Cases linked with Requirements and Test Cases not linked with Requirements. The scale at left displays the grade of test case reusability - Low, Good, Very Good.
Formula for calculating percent =

Math.round(((Total References - Total Test Cases)/Total References)*100)

If the test case reusability has improved than what was earlier, then the Faster Rate is also displayed based on the formula.
Formula for calculating Faster Rate =

Math.round(Total References/Total Test Cases)

The report also displays test cases in grid with columns Priority, Status, Testing Type, Test Category, and Usages. The details help users analyze which test cases are reused more than others.

Test Cases linked with Requirements

The section displays list of test cases which are linked maximum times with requirements. The grid also shows the reusability count of respective test case.

Test Cases not linked with Requirements

The section lists out test cases which are not linked to any requirement yet.
