Release Readiness

1 min read

The Release Readiness report gives you a composite go/no-go score for a single release, with a breakdown of the factors behind the score and the blockers and risks that could stop you shipping. Use it as the final check before a release goes out.

Choosing a release

At the top of the report you pick a Release. The whole report — score, metrics, and risks — is scoped to that release. When the release has a target date, a badge shows the days remaining.

The readiness score

The report produces a score out of 100 and a band:

Ready
At risk
Not ready

The score is a weighted blend of four components:

Pass rate — weight 35%
Executed (share of tests run) — weight 25%
Requirement coverage (requirements with at least one passing test) — weight 20%
Criticals factor (penalty for open critical/blocker defects) — weight 20%

The formula is: score = 0.35 × pass + 0.25 × executed + 0.20 × coverage + 0.20 × criticals factor.

Key metrics

Alongside the score, the report shows the supporting metrics for the release — tests executed and their share, pass rate, requirement coverage, and the number of open critical/blocker defects.

Risks and supporting views

Risks: Failing tests plus open critical/blocker defects — the items most likely to block the release.
Defect severity distribution: How open defects are spread across severities.
Automation mix: The automation status of the tests in the release.
Freshness signals: Indicators such as the last green run and any defects reopened in the window.
Executions in this release: The executions that make up the release.

Exporting

Download the report as a PDF or as Excel (XLSX). The PDF dialog lets you choose sections — cover page, executive summary, the readiness scorecard, the score breakdown, key metrics, defect severity distribution, automation mix, freshness signals, risks, the executions list, and a legend that explains each scorecard component and the formula.
