AccessAccessThe Project/Release Dashboard is accessed by typing in the following URL in a web browser:
http://<system_name_or_IP_address>/zephyr/dashboard and clicking on the relevant Project.
Note:
No username/password or licenses are necessary to view Dashboards
All information in these Dashboards are live. No refreshes or reloads are needed and data is updated automatically when it changes on the Zephyr server
All Dashboards are read-only though they allow enhanced interactivity
Project/Release Dashboards are available out-of-the-box but their content can be customized
Project/Release Dashboards show various Releases/Iterations in tabs along the top. Each of them are comprised of many sections and the content in them can be modified and turned on/off by the Test Lead via the Project/Release Dashboard Management application found in the Test Lead's Desktop.
The Release Timeline Section displays the various Test Execution Cycles that have been scheduled by the Test Lead in the Testcase EAS application in the Test Lead's Desktop.
The News and Project Status Section displays the latest Project/Release level news that the Test Lead wants to share.
The Project Team Section displays all the team members working on this Project. This information comes from the Project Setup application in the Test Manager's Desktop.
The Documents Section displays all the documents that the Test Lead has uploaded/linked in the Documents application of their Desktop.
The Metrics Section shows detailed statistics about the Project/Release in various areas of Test Creation, Test Execution and Defects. Clicking on any of the Metrics opens up the Detailed Metrics popup that allows the user to view the next level of details for that particular metric. These metrics are interactive and the user can drill-down by clicking on the chart. The Summary and Data Table automatically change on the drill-down and provide the relevant information for that level.
These metrics can be printed or exported (into an image, text and .xls file). All of the data displayed in these metrics are live and no refreshes are needed as the Zephyr Server automatically pushes out new data to these metrics as the user is viewing them.
