Tasks

Track, manage, and collaborate on test-related work items and follow-ups.

Understanding Tasks

Tasks are work items created to address test failures, follow up on issues, or track improvements. They provide a lightweight project management layer integrated with your testing workflow.

Task Types

Test Failure Tasks

Automatically or manually created when tests fail:

• Linked to specific test results
• Include failure details and context
• Track resolution progress

Improvement Tasks

Track enhancements and optimizations:

• New test coverage areas
• Metric refinements
• Performance improvements

Review Tasks

Collaborative review items:

• Test set validation
• Behavior definition reviews
• Metric threshold adjustments
