Characteristics of a good test summary report
A Test Summary Report SHOULD have the following characteristics: -
| SHORT: | As a rule of thumb, aim for no more than 8 -- 11 pages. |
| CLEAR: | Information should be clear. Read DHCW's writing checklist for tips. |
| PRECISE: | The information, though concise, should not be abstract as this will not help the reader draw clear conclusions from it. |
| CONSISTENT: | While content will differ, each report SHOULD use the same template. |
The remainder of this guide provides rules for drafting a report, using the template.
