In an effort to provide full transparency on a daily basis, QA Mentor has developed a Daily Status Report to give our clients a complete view of each day’s activities, accomplishments, or roadblocks. This level of reporting allows project managers to gain immediate insight into the project progress and evaluate if additional resources need to be used, know if the deadline will be met, and quickly attack any problems as soon as they happen.

Project name, sponsors, phase, and managers are identified at the top along with the date the report is being provided for. The report has multiple tabs to give both a high level, executive summary and detailed information into all areas of the project such as test case execution, defect analysis, test design (if applicable), and downtime. Color-coded themes help to easily identify areas that are on target (green) or falling behind (red). The goal of this report is for QA Mentor to be as open as we can regarding project status, so clients can properly and adequately plan for impending releases and give additional stakeholders up to date information on projects that could affect the business.
