Test Base
The test base dataset is a detailed collection of data points describing various testing activities within a project. This dataset is essential for tracking test progress, managing test cases, and ensuring software quality and functionality. It allows teams to monitor test details, track progress, and facilitate effective communication and collaboration, ultimately enhancing software quality and project success.
To analyze metrics at the portfolio item level, ensure the work item is linked appropriately. Tests should be linked to their parent work items, which should be linked to portfolio items. This linkage is essential to see metrics at the portfolio item level.
The following are the components of this dataset:
| Attribute Name | Description |

| Test inprogress flag | Flag (Y/N) indicating whether the work item is currently in the “In Progress” status category. |
| Test iteration | Last iteration of the test |
| Test last inprogress date | Last time the test was marked as in progress |
| Test last updated by | Person who recently updated the work item |
| Test last updated on | Date on which the test was recently updated |
| Test name | Name of the test |
| Test number | Unique identifier for the Test |
| Test planning level | Planning level of the test |
| Test state | State of the test |
| Test status | Status of the test |
| Test team | Team of the test |
