Result Reporting Importance:

Result Reporting is very important to know status of the product/project and to ensure a corrective action is taken.

• Result reporting is very important when the product has failed testing.

• Results should capture performance, platform dependence, etc., and not just the functional issues.

• Giving an unbiased opinion about the state of the product is what a customer would expect.

• Reporting should not only highlight the Strengths but also cover the Limitations and Recommendations, if any.

• Reports would help the customer to take critical decisions about the product release timelines.
