Required activities for monitoring test case readiness

For the Test Case Readiness report to be useful and accurate, the team must perform the following activities:

  • Define test cases, and update their State from Design to Ready.
  • (Optional) To support filtering, assign Iteration and Area paths to Test Cases.

Interpret the report

You should expect the Test Case Readiness report to vary depending on where you are in your product development cycle. Early iterations should show a gradual increase in how many Test Cases are in the Design state. Toward the end of the product cycle, most Test Cases should be in a Ready state.

You can review the report to find answers to the following questions:

  • How many Test Cases is the test team defining?
  • How many Tests Cases are ready to run today?
  • How many Test Cases must the team still write and review?
  • Does the overall number of Test Cases appear to be enough for the number of User Stories that the team is implementing?
  • What is the percentage of Test Cases that the test team can run today?
  • Will the team be able to have all the Tests Cases ready by the end of the iteration?

Update and customize the report

You can update the Test Case Readiness report by opening it in Office Excel and changing the filter options for the PivotTable report. You can customize this report to support other views, as the following table describes.
