bookVisualizing Test Results with Matplotlib

When you need to communicate the results of your QA efforts, visual representations can be much more effective than raw numbers or tables. The matplotlib library is a powerful tool in Python that helps you create charts and graphs to illustrate test outcomes, making it easier for teams to spot trends, identify issues, and share insights with stakeholders. In the context of QA reporting, matplotlib allows you to quickly turn test result data into visual formats that are easy to understand at a glance.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Sample data: number of passed and failed tests num_pass = 75 num_fail = 25 # Create a bar chart plt.bar(['PASS', 'FAIL'], [num_pass, num_fail], color=['green', 'red']) plt.title('Test Results Summary') plt.xlabel('Test Status') plt.ylabel('Number of Tests') plt.show()

The bar chart you just created provides a clear comparison between the number of passed and failed tests. By visualizing this data, QA teams can quickly assess the overall health of the test suite. A higher bar for passes indicates good test stability, while a significant number of failures may signal issues that need immediate attention. Such charts make it easier to communicate the current status of testing efforts to both technical and non-technical audiences, helping drive informed decisions and prioritization.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Sample data: test execution times (in seconds) for a sequence of test runs test_runs = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] execution_times = [12.5, 11.8, 13.2, 12.1, 11.9] # Create a line chart plt.plot(test_runs, execution_times, marker='o') plt.title('Test Execution Times Over Runs') plt.xlabel('Test Run') plt.ylabel('Execution Time (seconds)') plt.grid(True) plt.show()
