QMetry System Reports

Introduction

QMetry System Reports are default built-in reports designed according to globally recognized QA best practices. The System Reports offer valuable insights to help teams monitor and evaluate testing performance, efficiency, and outcomes. System reports contain 14 individual sections -

The following sections provide a detailed overview of the common features shared across all categories.

Global Filters

The System Dashboard supports Global Filters, allowing users to view and apply common (i.e. shared) filters across all gadgets directly from the top of the dashboard. Instead of configuring filters for each gadget individually, users can set shared filters that apply to all gadgets.

However, users still have the flexibility to configure unique filters for individual gadgets. If the global filters differ from those set on the gadget, an indication will be displayed, making it easier for users to identify discrepancies in the applied filters.

Here’s how Global Filters Function:

Open

1. When a user applies a global filter, it shall override the current filters on all gadgets.

2. User can edit the global filters as well as unique filters at the gadget level.

3. Users can save global or unique filters based on their preferences.

4. Users can select only one project at a time if a folder-level filter is available in the global filters section.

Open

Messages for Filter Configuration

If a user modifies the Common filter field values at the gadget level and they differ from the Global filter field values, a badge will appear at the gadget level displaying the message: "This gadget uses different filters that don't align with global filters."

If no common filters are shared across the gadgets on the dashboard, the message "There is no common filter available across all gadgets" appears on the screen in place of the global filters.

Icons on the QMetry System Reports

Each Gadget has the following options on it:

Schedule System Reports

The system report can be scheduled one time/recurring as email notifications. To schedule outbound emails at a particular frequency, click on the Schedule button for the report that you want to share. The report details will be sent in PDF to recipients as per the defined schedule. The PDF containing graphical as well as tabular reports will be emailed using Scheduled Report.

The scheduler icon is provided on the report header. Clicking on this icon opens a screen with the two tabs:

• Schedules: The tab shows a list of scheduled reports.

• Schedule Report: Template to schedule reports.

Scheduling System Reports

Once you are done entering the details, click Submit to schedule the report. The report will be sent as per the set date, time, and frequency.

Scheduled Reports

Once you schedule the reports, they will be displayed on the Schedules tab. You can edit and delete the schedules.

Refresh Reports

QMetry System Reports are not auto-refreshed when opened for a longer duration. To refresh the reports manually, click on the Refresh  icon. It will sync the data to render the reports with latest data.

Manage Jira Fields Visibility in System Gadgets

If a Jira field is marked as hidden, any report gadgets containing that field will not be displayed to ensure data confidentiality and the user will receive a message notifying them about the field’s visibility settings.

The system reports affected by a Jira field’s visibility status include:

• My Dashboard: Issues Count, Uncovered Requirements

• Requirements Report: Requirement Coverage, Requirements with or without Issues, Planned Requirements, Requirement Summary

• Issue Analysis Report: Issue Summary, Issue Count by Status & Priority, Issue Velocity Compared to Requirements, Resolved Issue Verification, Issue Velocity compared to Test Cases executed report

• Top Issues Report: Top Issues Report

• Execution Summary Report: Issue Summary

Manage Jira Fields Visibility in Tabular System Reports

In tabular system reports, if a hidden external field is used in the gadget filter, the report and data will not be displayed, and the user will receive the same notification as above.

If the hidden field is not part of the filter but appears as a column in the gadget, the user will still be able to view the report data. However, the hidden column will display as "not mapped for syncing." Please note that this only applies to tabular gadgets.

For example, if the admin hides the 'label' field in the Projects > Integration screen.

The 'label' field is not available as a filter option for the Top Issues Report.

The column value will display as "not mapped for syncing." This happens because the 'label' field is not included as a filter for this report.
