1 Choose a suitable format

When creating documentation and reporting, you should decide what format and level of detail to use. This depends on your audience and purpose, such as if you need a simple summary or a detailed report. Additionally, consider the frequency and timing of your reporting, the scope and complexity of your testing, and the expectations and preferences of your stakeholders. For example, do they want to see raw data or analysis? Do they require online or offline access? Taking all these factors into account will ensure that your reporting is tailored to meet the needs of your stakeholders.

This should totally depend on the aim, audience, and context. Strike a balance by giving just enough information to satisfy the audience's demands and deliver the required information without leading to confusion or information overload.

Who is your target audience? Is it internal team? Internal project team or is it project stakeholders, Management etc. 2. Do they need data on daily basis , weekly or monthly report? 3.

2 Collect and organize your data

The next step is to collect and organize the data from your mobile testing automation tools and frameworks. Depending on the tools you use, the data may include logs, screenshots, videos of test execution and results, metrics, charts, graphs of test coverage, performance, and quality, issues, defects, and bugs identified by scripts and tools, as well as feedback, comments, and ratings from users and testers. It is essential to store and manage the data in a central and secure location such as a cloud-based platform, database or repository. Additionally, the data should be labeled, categorized and filtered according to criteria like test name, date and status; device model; OS; version; test case; scenario; feature; severity; priority; resolution of issues.

Yes, including as many specifics as you can at once, like the device model, OS version, etc., not only saves time in understanding the findings but also helps with data visualization and extensive reporting.

3 Analyze and interpret your data

The third step is to analyze and interpret your data to extract meaningful insights and trends. You should use appropriate methods and tools such as statistical analysis, data visualization and reporting, data comparison and correlation, and data mining and machine learning. Additionally, you should apply your domain knowledge to interpret your data in the context of your mobile app goals. Ask yourself questions such as what the main findings of mobile testing automation are, what the strengths and weaknesses of your mobile app are, what the root causes of issues and defects are, and what best practices can be implemented for improving mobile app development and testing.

4 Present and communicate your findings

The final step is to present and communicate your findings and recommendations to stakeholders, clients, and team members. You should use clear and concise language and visuals to convey your message and highlight your key points. Furthermore, it’s important to tailor your presentation style to the audience and purpose. To do this, use a logical and consistent structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Utilize headings, subheadings, bullet points, and numbers to organize the content. Additionally, consider the tone and voice of your documentation as well as relevant data and evidence to support your findings. Use tables, charts, graphs, screenshots, videos, citations, references, feedback tools, collaboration tools such as email, chat or video conferencing platforms like Google Docs or Jira.

Not only share your findings but discuss them: Arrange talks or meetings to review the results, respond to queries, and jointly arrange any necessary steps or follow-ups. This provides amazing insights and quick resolutions.
