The past week, I conducted interviews with different members of the QA community to get better context on specific features that would benefit the community. Based on my findings from the interviews(see my findings here - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S7LwksjTDQFyeWfosu53b9pm2oCMogxbQ5rR6tLKu7I/edit?usp=sharing), I propose the following features be made for the dashboard to give it better value

Summary

A card with results of tests conducted recently on the platform and a link to the main test results page to see more.

Context

The card is to provide users a brief summary of recent reports created on the Test results page and a link that takes you to the test reports page to see more. The feature would be useful to the users on a daily basis as the activities of the QA team revolve mostly round the testing and the feature provides a brief summary of what is seen on the test results page. Ideally, when a user wants to start working for the day, the user would visit the dashboard to see what is happening. The user sees the list of the latest test results – if they passed or failed – then proceeds to the test results page to see more. The user can also see major metrics of tests done Instead of going the route of maybe having multiple tabs open and entering addresses, the user can easily just click a link located on the same card that will take the user to the main test results page immediately. Currently, such a feature does not exist on the dashboard.

Criteria

This feature will require access to an API that would retrieve details of test results as they come in. Without this access to such an API, keeping the list updated will become a daunting task as tests are running all the time.
