testbericht

Testbericht is a document that records the outcome of a testing activity. It documents the objectives, scope, methods, data, results, and conclusions of a test performed on a product, system, or service to assess its qualities, performance, safety, or conformance with requirements. Testberichte are used across domains such as software testing, consumer electronics, automotive engineering, medical devices, and quality assurance, and they serve as a basis for decision making, verification, and traceability.

A typical Testbericht includes the following elements: title and identifiers, purpose and scope, test object, test environment, test plan and test cases, testing methods, data and procedures, results and measurements, defects or deviations, assessment of test coverage, conclusions, and recommendations. It may also include a summary, risk considerations, limitations, and supporting evidence such as logs, screenshots, or test data.

Process and usage: the report is produced by a QA team or testers after execution; it is reviewed by stakeholders, approved, and archived. It is used to decide on release or further actions, and in regulated settings it may be part of compliance documentation. The document supports accountability, traceability, and auditability within a project or organization.

Variations and regulatory context: there are brief test summaries and more detailed reports depending on audience and purpose. Standards bodies and regulators may require test reports to demonstrate conformity with requirements, such as safety or environmental standards. The Testbericht complements other QA artifacts like test plans, risk assessments, and certification records.
