Does your BI dashboard provide you with a comprehensive view of your business? If you don’t have a comprehensive view how do you know if your business is meeting its goals & objectives?
Business data is stored in a variety of different systems, 3rd party or partner sources, databases, etc. When data is spread out like this it’s difficult to manually pull it all together to get the view you need to make decisions. Imagine this, you are presented with a metric that shows the number of tests cases by module that have been marked as passed, failed or blocked. However, you don’t have a metric that shows the severity of defects tied to each of those test cases. What would you do? Would you tell the developers to fix all the defects that caused a test case to fail? Would you wait for someone to provide the defect metrics separately? What it really comes down to is that you are missing a piece of the puzzle to make the decision on next steps.
If you had an automated BI dashboard that could pull all the information together from the different data sources you’d be able to get the full picture of the defect severity tied to the modules. By knowing which defects by severity are tied to which test cases you would be able to know if the defects are critical or not and which modules are not ready for production. A comprehensive view allows you to make informed decisions and would allow you to focus in on the areas/modules that need the most help/attention.
TIP: Implement a BI dashboard that can access and integrate the data from the multiple sources you’ll be able to get the bigger picture. Sign up for a free demo of TeamQualityPro to get a comprehensive view of your business.
