Clear reporting and traceability are essential for making confident release decisions. As testing cycles grow more complex, teams need deeper visibility into execution performance, defect impact, and overall project health.
With the March 2026 release, AgileTest introduces three powerful new reports designed to help QA teams analyze trends, detect risks earlier, and gain clearer, data-driven insights into their testing workflows. These enhancements are complemented by milestone tracking improvements and usability refinements that make navigating and managing test data smoother than ever.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in this release. 🚀

Project Metrics Report
Understanding project performance requires more than isolated numbers. The new Project Metrics Report provides a centralized view of your project’s testing health and activity.
You can monitor consolidated Test Item metrics such as Test Cases, Test Runs, Test Executions, Test Plans, Defects, and Requirements, alongside Activity metrics. The report also highlights Top Contributors and high-impact Test Cases, helping you better understand productivity trends, testing effort distribution, and overall quality performance.
This report makes it easier to evaluate how your testing efforts evolve over time and where attention is needed most.
Cross-Execution Comparison Report
The new Cross-Execution Comparison Report allows you to compare the same Test Cases across multiple Test Executions in a single view. By reviewing execution results side by side, teams can quickly detect regressions, analyze pass/fail differences across versions or environments, and evaluate progress between testing cycles. This cross-execution comparison approach supports faster analysis and more confident release decisions.
Defect Traceability Report
Strong traceability ensures that defects are properly understood and effectively managed. The Defect Traceability Report helps you track relationships between Defects, Test Cases, Test Plans, Test Runs, and Requirements to ensure full end-to-end visibility.
This improves defect impact analysis, enhances transparency between QA and development teams, and supports stronger quality control throughout the testing lifecycle. With clearer traceability, teams can better assess risk and understand how defects influence overall release readiness.
Aggregate Sub-Milestone Progress
Previously, Parent milestones and Sub-milestones were calculated separately. With this enhancement, you can now choose whether Parent milestones calculate progress independently or aggregate results from Sub-milestones. This allows teams to track release readiness more accurately based on their preferred reporting structure.
Improvements
Display Issue Type of Work Item in Test Plan
The Work Item Linked field in the Test Plan section now displays the issue link type instead of only the Jira issue key. This provides a clearer context about the relationship between Test Cases and linked items without requiring additional navigation.
Project Filter in Defect Widgets
The Top Defects Impact Testing widget and Requirement Defect widget now support filtering by Project. This enables more precise cross-project defect analysis and improves reporting flexibility.
Test Run Status Dropdown
For executed items, the Test Run status field now displays the selected status in a compact format. You can click to open a dropdown and update it when needed, reducing visual clutter and improving usability.
Save User Preferences on Reload
The system now preserves UI states to ensure a more consistent experience. This includes saving the expand/collapse state of the app sidebar, folder sidebar, and folder tree table sidebar, as well as maintaining open tabs for Requirements, Preconditions, Milestones, and Test Plans after refresh.
Open Milestones in New Browser Tab
Clicking a Milestone name in the Test Execution section now opens it in a new browser tab, allowing you to navigate without interrupting your current workflow.
Minor Bug Fixes
We’ve also resolved several minor issues and made general improvements to ensure a smoother and more reliable AgileTest experience.
Conclusion
This update is all about helping you gain clearer testing insights and stronger control over your release process. With advanced reporting capabilities, enhanced traceability, and smoother usability improvements, AgileTest continues to evolve alongside your testing needs.
Key highlights in this release include:
- Project Metrics Report: Monitor project health using consolidated Test Item metrics, activity trends, Top Contributors, and high-impact Test Cases within a selected time range.
- Cross-Execution Comparison Report: Compare the same Test Cases across multiple executions to detect regressions and analyze result differences across versions or environments.
- Defect Traceability Report: Strengthen end-to-end traceability between Defects, Test Cases, Test Plans, Test Runs, and Requirements for clearer impact analysis.
- Flexible Milestone Progress Tracking: Choose whether Parent milestones calculate progress separately or aggregate Sub-milestone results for more accurate release readiness tracking.
- Usability Improvements: Clearer linked work item context in Test Plans, better filtering in defect widgets, compact status updates for executed items, saved UI states on refresh, and improved navigation with milestone links opening in a new tab.
