The purpose of test automation is to be able to understand the state of quality in your application quickly. To understand the quality, you need to understand the results of your test execution, and that's where test reports come in.

In Testsigma, you can view reports directly in the application. Reports are automatically created and help debug failing tests and help managers understand the state of quality of the application under test (AUT). This article discusses the overview of run results page in Testsigma.
