After your tests run, you want to know what passed and what failed. Test reports show you that. They summarize results and make it easier to fix problems.

Most test runners support basic reports. Tools like Allure, ReportPortal, or HTML reports in pytest give more detail. They can include screenshots, logs, and failure reasons.

Reports should show pass/fail counts, test names, times, and error messages. Good reports help non-developers understand the results too.

Add screenshots on failure. Record browser console logs or network requests if you can. These extras make debugging easier.

Keep reports stored in CI/CD artifacts or publish them to a dashboard. This way, your team can access them anytime. Over time, you’ll spot flaky tests or patterns in failures.

Test reports are more than a list of results—they’re a tool for faster debugging.
