Efficiently summarizing test results is a core skill for any QA engineer, as it enables you to quickly assess the health of your testing process and communicate outcomes to your team. In this challenge, you will put your Python skills to use by writing a script that processes a hardcoded list of test case results. Your script will calculate and display the total number of tests, the number of passes, the number of fails, and the pass rate as a percentage. Mastering this type of automation will help you streamline your daily QA tasks and ensure that critical information is always at your fingertips.
