The Dashboard

The Dashboard is where you check the overall health of your test suite at a glance.
  • Release Readiness: a GO / NO-GO / NOT-EVALUATED badge computed from your most recent Patrol run, along with whether a NO-GO blocks release or is a warning only (this depends on how release notifications are configured; see Configuration).
  • Status Distribution: a pie chart of pass, fail, blocked, and pending tests.
  • Pass Rate Trend: an area chart tracking your pass rate across recent runs.
  • Per-folder breakdown: a bar chart showing pass/fail/blocked/pending counts by test folder, so you can spot where failures are concentrated.
  • Run activity: a heatmap of Patrol activity over the last several weeks.
Each chart has its own empty-state message until there’s enough data. For example, the trend chart needs at least two runs before it can draw a line.

​
The QA Results Report

Open Reports for a shareable summary of current QA status: an overall pass percentage, the most recent Patrol run’s headline numbers (environment, duration, pass/fail/skip counts), and every test broken out by folder, sorted so folders with the most failures show up first. Use the search bar and filter pills (All types / Manual / Auto, All / Failing, With bug) to narrow what’s shown, then click Export PDF to generate a printable copy for a release review or stakeholder update.

​
Comparing runs

Open Compare to see exactly what changed between any two Patrol runs. Pick a baseline (“before”) and a comparison (“after”) run, and Watchtower shows:
  • A plain-language summary (for example, “Pass rate improved by 4pp” or “2 new failures”).
  • Delta tiles for Pass, Fail, Skipped, and Pass Rate.
You’ll need at least two recorded runs to use Compare.

​
Exporting data

Use Project Settings → Export from the sidebar to download your data as CSV (one file per data type) or as a single PowerPoint deck. You can export Tests, Filed Bugs, Graphs Data, Patrol History, and Run Status, scoped to your current folder selection or across every folder.
