How To Prepare Daily Status Report While Working In Software Projects
How to prepare daily status report in software testing?
Status Report is a critical part in software testing. It shows the progress being made by the whole team on day to day basis. You can prepare daily status report or weekly status report as it is required by project management.
Sometimes, you extract the relevant data from the tool such as Test Management tools (JIRA from Atlassian ),X-Ray and Zephyr Squad that you are using in your project OR you can prepare in excel spreadsheet and share it with client.
In your MS Excel spreadsheet, consider adding the following:
1. Tester’s name (small team case, optional)
2. Functionality name or FRD’s name
3. Status ( Started, In Progress, Completed etc.)
4. Progress made(%)
5. Defect ID, if any defects raised
6. Any key issues or blockers
7. Test phases with status
8. Comments
Add data for all the above on day to day basis in your excel spreadsheet and start sharing it with your client. It will give a clear picture on how much the progress has been made in terms of Testing.
I hope this helps. Please leave a comment or clap for me to encourage me to write more. Thank you for your time!
