Generate formal exit summaries. Quantify test coverage, defect leakage risks, and provide the final sign-off for release.
Final Test Closure Report | v1.0
Critical: 0 | High: 0 | Med/Low: 0
The Test Closure Report is the formal "End-of-War" document for a testing cycle. This guide explains how to present your final results to ensure smooth production handovers.
Test closure isn't just about finishing cases; itβs about risk assessment. A TCR summarizes what was tested (Coverage), what passed (Quality), and what remains unfixed (Residual Risk). It provides the historical evidence needed for future audits and process improvements.
A senior-level TCR must include Schedule Adherence and Final Success Ratios. Using our Test Metrics Calculator during the cycle helps populate this final report with accuracy and technical authority.
Before generating your report, verify that these exit criteria are met:
Data: 98% Pass Rate | 2 Open Medium Bugs.
Decision: RELEASE. The report notes the 2 open bugs as "Known Issues" to be fixed in the next patch, allowing the business to meet the deadline.
Data: 100% Scope | 100% Pass Rate | 0 Open Bugs.
Decision: CERTIFIED. The highest quality standard where the software meets every technical requirement without compromise.
Typically, the QA Lead prepares it, and it is formally approved by the Project Manager, Product Owner, or Release Architect before the code goes live.
Yes, provided they are not "Showstoppers." Open bugs must be documented in the "Residual Risk" section of the report so stakeholders are aware of the potential production impact.
