Summary report failure numbers are a little confusing

I was creating a report for September 2019 test runs and have some questions about the numbers provided in the “Summary Report”.

The total number of failures shows 608, but when I add up the report’s failures column numbers in red, I get a very large number. Is this wrong? I am missing something?

Hi @jay.kaur,

The report looks correct, I will explain how it works.

The total number of failures corresponds to the sum of your test runs failures reported by each of your “Main scenarios”. Notice that your main scenarios are colored in GREEN.

So lets calculate:
Airline_Booking (35) + Ticket_Sales (185) + Airline_App (388) = 608

The numbers for your main scenarios are calculated by its sub-scenario and/or transactions.

Each number in the hierarchy is the sum of its children.

For example, Airline_Bookng scenario has reported 35 failures.
Init_App (33) + Search for Flight (2) + App_Logoff (0) = 35

Similarly, Init_App has reported 33 failures that were received from its transaction Log On.

It is also possible that sub-scenarios or transactions don’t report any failures and the failures occur in the main scenario.

Such an example is your last main scenario - Airline_App.
