Why we built it

Release reporting shouldn't take an afternoon. Or the night before go-live.

Every test lead knows the routine: copy the numbers out of Azure Test Plans, rebuild the charts, chase open bugs across tabs, then write a summary under pressure. We are testers too, so we built the report we wanted. Pick a test plan, choose your suites, and download a consistent, professional report in seconds. The numbers come straight from Azure DevOps, so they are always right.

What you get

Everything a release decision needs.

One report that answers the questions every stakeholder asks: how much did we test, what passed, what's still broken, and can we ship?

A clear verdict

An automatic Green, Amber or Red status with the reasons behind it, and a Go, Go with conditions or No-Go recommendation. You set the thresholds, and you can always make the final call.

A formal test manager report

Purpose and approach, scope, areas and features tested, results by suite, requirements coverage, deviations, risks and sign-off. Use a preset or pick exactly the sections you need.

Every relevant defect

Bugs linked to your tests, to the user stories they cover or raised during test runs, plus bugs found by tag, area or iteration path, or a saved query. Each bug listed once.

6 defect sources

Clickable bug links

Every defect ID in the Word and PDF report opens the bug straight in Azure DevOps, so readers go from the report to the detail in one click.

How it works

From test plan to signed-off report in three steps.

It lives inside Azure DevOps under Test Plans. There is nothing to host and nothing to set up.

01

Choose your scope

Open Test Plans > Test Summary, pick a test plan and tick the suites to report on.

Inside the report

The report your release board expects.

Every report follows the same structure, so readers always know where to look. The status uses three levels:

GreenAmberRed
  1. Cover and document controlTitle, project, environment, test period, version
  2. Executive summary and statusKey figures, the status and why
  3. Purpose, objectives and approachWhat you set out to prove and how
  4. ScopeIn and out of scope, suites, configurations, testers
  5. Areas and features testedOne clear outcome per feature
  6. Results by suiteCharts, pass rate and execution rate
  7. Test case resultsEvery test case and its latest status
  8. Requirements coverageUser stories and how well they are covered
  9. DefectsBy severity, with clickable links

  11. Deviations, risks and issuesWhat stakeholders should know

Where to find defects

Your defects, wherever your team logs them.

  • Linked to your test cases, the default.
  • Linked to the user stories those tests cover.
  • Created during test runs, from each test's latest result.
  • By tag, area or iteration path, or from a saved query.
  • Combine as many as you like. Each bug is listed once, and the report says where its defects came from.
The 'Where to find defects' settings with six sources ticked: test cases, user stories, test runs, a tag, an area path and a saved query.
Optional AI summary

Rough notes in. Executive summary out.

Write a few notes and click Make it professional. The AI turns them into a clear summary in an Executive or Technical tone, using only your notes and your real numbers. Nothing reaches the report until you click Accept.

Price

Free. Optional AI uses your own key, a fraction of a cent per summary

Yes. Every feature is available to everyone, with no trial, no watermark and no sign-up with us. If you use the optional AI summary, your AI provider charges your own account for it, usually a fraction of a cent per summary.

No. The report is built in your browser and downloaded to your computer. Your report settings are saved in your own Azure DevOps organisation, for your user only. See the privacy policy.

Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI) with the model of your choice, or your organisation's Azure OpenAI deployment. You use your own key, which stays in your browser and is never saved in Azure DevOps. The AI is optional: leave your notes empty and a plain summary is written from the numbers.

Not directly, because Copilot has no general API key for apps like this one. If your organisation uses Azure OpenAI, choose that option instead: it runs OpenAI's GPT models in your organisation's own Azure subscription.

It is built and tested for Azure DevOps Services (dev.azure.com). If you need on-premises support, tell us.

By default, the bugs linked to the test cases you report on. You can add bugs linked to the user stories those tests cover, bugs created during test runs, and bugs found by tag, area or iteration path, or a saved query. The report lists each bug once and says where they came from.
