titleDescription

A test report summarizes the discoveries of an exploratory test. The test charter defined the context of the journey and the test session collected the information in form of a journal. The test report uses the information in these documents to create a view for the sponsors of the test.

On creation of the test report document you typically do not need to add any information to the wizard. Just click 'Create'! If you change your mind, you may rename the document or edit the short description later.

Note that this document delegates per default to the parent document, which should be a test charter.
