Using the TestOwl Project Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you a high-level view of your project's testing health. It brings together the size of your test library, how your runs are performing, and which tests deserve attention — all in one page.

Open Dashboard from the top of the sidebar. The page is titled with your project's name, for example My Project Summary. Click Help at the top right — it opens How this dashboard works, a short in-app guide to every widget.

Dashboard Overview

Choosing a time range

Most widgets can be switched between:

  • All — all time (trend charts show up to the last 90 days).
  • Week — the last 7 days.
  • Month — the last 30 days.

Changing the range updates the metrics, trend charts, coverage, and failure list to match.

Summary cards

The top row shows the size of your library and the value it delivers:

CardWhat it tells you
Total SuitesThe number of Test Suites in the project, split into active and draft.
Total Test CasesThe number of Test Cases across all suites, split into active and draft.
Efficiency GainThe total time your automated runs have executed. Every hour here is manual testing effort replaced by automation.

Metric Summaries

Metric Summaries shows key numbers for the selected range:

MetricMeaning
Total RuntimeThe combined execution time of all runs started in the range.
Total RunsHow many runs were started in the range.
Pass RateTest-case attempts that completed successfully, divided by every attempt that reached a verdict (passed or failed). Attempts still queued or running are left out until they finish.

Pass Rate Trend

The Pass Rate Trend (%) chart plots your daily pass rate — based on the test-case attempts from each day's runs — so you can see stability at a glance. A dip means fewer test cases passed that day. Days with no finished attempts appear as gaps in the line.

Use it to spot improvements in stability, recent regressions, or a sudden increase in failures.

Run Duration Trend

The Run Duration Trend chart shows the average execution time per day. It catches tests getting slower even while they keep passing, and shows the effect of optimisations. Days without a recorded duration appear as gaps.

Coverage Overview

Coverage Overview lists each Environment with:

  • Coverage — how many of your active Test Cases have been executed at least once in that environment, as a share of all active Test Cases. It turns green at 90% or more.
  • Pass rate — how well those tests pass in that environment.

Low coverage means untested environments — for example a mobile or Safari environment that few tests have run against.

If you haven't run anything yet, it shows No coverage data.

Critical Failures

Critical Failures ranks your most unstable Test Cases by failure rate across all their attempts, showing "X of Y attempts failed" for each. The list shows the top ten. A red bar means more than 20% of attempts failed; amber is lower.

This is the best place to start debugging: fix the tests at the top first. If everything is healthy it shows No failing tests.

Understanding the numbers

Dashboard statistics are calculated from your project's Run History. Pass rate and failure rate are measured on test-case attempts rather than whole runs.

When to use the Dashboard

  • Check the health of your project at the start of the day or before a release.
  • Track pass rate and duration over time.
  • Find flaky or failing tests quickly.
  • See which environments are under-tested.
