TestBeats Portal Overview ​
TestBeats Portal is a cloud-based test reporting platform that centralizes and analyzes test results from various automation frameworks, helping development teams gain actionable insights and streamline their testing workflows.
What Problem Does It Solve? ​
Modern development teams face several challenges with test reporting:
- Scattered Results: Test results are often buried in CI/CD logs or local files, making them hard to access and share
- Limited Visibility: Team members struggle to quickly understand test failures and their impact
- Manual Analysis: Developers spend significant time analyzing test failures instead of fixing them
- Poor Collaboration: Test results aren't easily accessible to non-technical stakeholders
TestBeats Portal addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform where all test results are automatically collected, analyzed, and made accessible to the entire team.
Core Concepts ​
Organizations ​
TestBeats Portal organizes users around organizations - typically representing your company or team. When you sign up with your work email, colleagues with the same email domain automatically gain access to your organization's test results, fostering seamless collaboration.
Projects and Test Runs ​
- Projects represent your applications or services (e.g., "Order App", "Payment Service")
- Test Runs represent specific testing activities (e.g., "Smoke Tests", "API Regression Tests", "Nightly Build")
This hierarchy helps organize results logically and makes it easy to track testing progress across different applications and test types.
Naming Strategy for Smart Analysis
For optimal AI-powered analysis, project and test run names should remain consistent across executions. TestBeats Portal's Smart Analysis feature compares current results with historical data from previous runs that share the same project and test run names. This consistency enables:
- Trend Detection: Identify patterns in test failures over time
- Regression Analysis: Spot when previously passing tests start failing
- Failure Categorization: Better classify and prioritize issues based on historical context
Best Practice
Use static, descriptive names like "API Regression Tests" or "Smoke Tests" rather than dynamic names that include timestamps or build numbers. This ensures Smart Analysis can effectively track your testing trends.
User Management ​
TestBeats Portal uses Google and Microsoft accounts for authentication. It supports two convenient sign-in methods:
Google Account: Ideal for teams using Google Workspace or those who prefer Google services for authentication.
Microsoft Account: Particularly advantageous for organizations using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). If you don't have a Microsoft account, consider creating one with your work email address.
Did you know?
If you have registered using your work email, users from your organization who share the same email domain will automatically gain access to the test results.
