Making a report will not take a lot of time in EasyQA test managenemt tool.

The user should click on Test reports tab on the Testing Activities page.

All the project reports are kept in one place and users can access them any time.

With Test reports tab users can generate the reports by categories:

1. test cases report

Let’s talk about each report type in details.

Each test type has its own features to be taken into consideration when conducting the testing.

For example:

• whether the website or mobile app is user-friendly
• whether a user is able to register
• what is the app’s behavior if a user has forgotten a password
