Automation Trends

Tracks test repository growth over time, pivoted by automation status. Use it to monitor an automation initiative's progress and to spot periods where manual-case authorship is outpacing automation.

What It Shows

The report groups repository test cases by their creation timestamp into periods (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually) and pivots each period by automation status:

  • Automated count per period
  • Manual count per period
  • Percent Automated per period
  • Period-over-period change (delta) for each metric

Cases are counted as of their creation date, so the report reflects authorship trend — not the current automation rate.

Filters

At generation time:

  • Date Range — limit results to a specific window
  • Period Grouping — daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly / annually (default: weekly)
  • Custom Field Filters — up to five dynamic filters on the project's case fields, combined with AND logic

Dimensions and Metrics

Automation Trends is available both as a pre-built report (fixed configuration) and as a custom report in the Report Builder. When used as a custom report, available dimensions include Automation Status, Priority, and Week Ending (plus Project when used in cross-project mode).
