Summary

In the realm of Quality Engineering and Test Automation, the lack of visibility is often a significant issue, as it is crucial for all team members, not just Quality Analysts, to be aware of the test automation process. Visibility tools like Story Walls and Burn Down Charts are common in Agile practices, but the visibility of test automation specifically is lacking, which can hinder responsibility and perceived value. To address this, a Test Automation Dashboard was developed using MySQL and Cube.js, providing essential metrics that indicate the health of a product and aid in decision-making. This dashboard is framework agnostic, allowing integration with various test automation frameworks as long as they can update the MySQL database. The dashboard aims to answer key questions about test coverage and execution results, and its setup process involves using Node.js, npm, and MySQL to display the results on a local server.
