Many businesses are burdened by an excessive amount of testing data. In that circumstance, it becomes impossible to distinguish between what is valuable, and what is noise. 

Therefore, having an effective reporting system in place in your company will ensure that all data is properly gathered and transformed into actionable insights.

This article will walk you through the benefits of test reporting, and the top 7 test reporting tools that are currently available on the market. 

## **What Are Test Reporting Tools?**

Test reporting is a critical element of the product release process because it allows stakeholders to make informed judgments about whether a product, feature or defect resolution is ready for release.

A test reporting tool is an important part of the testing process that outlines the key activities carried out during the testing lifecycle for any release and the overall results of testing. It helps identify critical information about testing, such as the scope of testing, the tests that were performed, the defects that were discovered, and the overall quality recommendations. 

## **Criteria for Choosing the Right Test Reporting Tool**

- **User interface (UI):** Is it clean and easy to use?
- **Usability:** How simple is it to learn and master? Is the company’s tech support, tutorials, and training up to par? Is it flexible to be compatible with a wide range of various automation testing tools?
- **Functionality and features:** [Reporting and analytics](https://www.katalon.com/resources-center/blog/test-reporting/): Can team members provide comprehensive and relevant reports on test results and progress throughout the testing process?
- **Value:** Is the price reasonable in relation to the features, capabilities, and use case? Is the price straightforward, transparent, and adaptable?
