Report Features

Dashboard View

The default view provides a high-level summary of the entire test session.

Key Components:

• Summary Cards: Real-time metrics for Total Tests, Passed, Failed, Skipped, Average Duration, and Environment details.
• Result Charts: Visual breakdown of test outcomes and execution time trends.
• System Environment: Detailed information about the OS, Python version, CPU, and Memory of the test runner.
• Test Suites: A grouped view of all executed test files with their respective pass rates.

Test Run Summary View

This view lists every individual test case with deep inspection capabilities.

Key Components:

• Global Search & Filter: Quickly find tests by name, status, or browser type.
• Detailed Test Steps: Expand any test to see a step-by-step breakdown. You can record steps in two ways:
  • Decorator (New!): Use the @step("Title") decorator on any function or method. Perfect for Page Objects.

    from pytest_pulse import step
    
    class LoginPage:
        @step("Login to application")
        def login(self, user, pwd): ...

  • Context Manager: Use the pulse_step fixture for blocks of code inside a test.

    with pulse_step("Submit Form"):
        page.click("#submit")

• Error & Stack Trace: Rich error reporting with color-coded stack traces and a one-click AI prompt copy button for debugging.
• Visual Attachments: Integrated viewer for screenshots, videos, and Playwright traces recorded during the run.
• Console Output: Captured stdout and stderr are presented in a clean, scrollable wrapper within the test details.
• Metadata: View test tags, severity levels, and custom annotations added via markers.

Test History View

Visualize trends across your last 15 local or CI runs.

Charts & Analytics:

• Outcome Trends: Track how your pass/fail ratio changes over time.
• Duration Trends: Identify performance regressions across specific test files or suites.
• Worker Distribution: Analyze how tests were distributed across different workers (especially useful for pytest-xdist).
• Individual Test Stability: View the stability and duration history of any specific test case over time.
