After you have registered for a test and the test phase has started, you're ready to go! We recommend that you write the test report while you are testing, so you don't forget any of your steps.
This is how you get to the test report:
Just click on the corresponding test on your Dashboard.
Carefully read all the instructions in the test overview page again.
Further down on the page, click on “Start Testing” and then on the next page on “Edit” to open the report.
You will usually see these fields in a test report:
Use Cases: Please record all steps taken during the whole test and write them in the use cases. The points from the test description should be reflected here. Tell us what you clicked on, one after another. Use bullet points and make a connection to the uploaded screenshots you're referring to.
Positive Feedback: What did you like during the test? Was there something especially user-friendly? Was the design or navigation appealing? Please ensure a specific reason is given to explain why a particular feature was user-friendly or appealing.
Negative Feedback: What did you dislike during the test? Was the navigation complicated? Some hard to read text? Please don't write about technical issues here! If the client wants such Bugs, we will offer a separate form for you to submit them.
Questions: Answer the questions (in written form or by giving a star rating). These are not part of every test. Written questions are “qualitative”, because the answers show qualities. Rating questions are “quantitative” because these quantify the feedback in numbers.
Screenshots / Screencasts: You should upload screenshots to document your testing procedure (cf. How many screenshots do I need to make?). In some cases, you will be asked to add screencasts (videos). You can only upload screenshots of common image file types. No Word files please!
Message to the Birdmaster: There is a box on the right-hand side where you can communicate with your Birdmaster. Have a question or concern about a specific test? Message us here and we’ll get back to you as fast as we can!
After you’ve finished the test report, don't forget to hit “Save” and then “Submit”. We recommend that you save your test report every now and then while you are filling it out, especially if you want to submit a Bug before you've finished your report.
