We're excited to roll out significant enhancements to the SeaLights "Tests" tab, which you can find on the Test Optimization - Savings Breakdown page. These updates are designed to give you a clearer, more actionable understanding of your test execution data, focusing on improving visibility into test performance, simplifying TIA insights, and streamlining your overall experience.

## Enhanced Test Data Visibility

We've introduced new columns and refined existing ones to provide more granular and intuitive test information.

### New "Duration" Column

<figure><img src="https://3871776571-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTqMveDrJ1pB6OErwHvF0%2Fuploads%2FFMwOpWprx6JDKDfBTexX%2FScreenshot%202025-08-06%20at%2022.34.42.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ffc4c029-ab9a-457b-ad28-78d5bf4da4c5" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A brand-new "Duration" column has been added to the "Tests" table, offering precise insights into how long individual tests take to run.

* Executed Tests: Shows the total execution duration for passed or failed tests.
* Failed Tests: Displays the actual duration of the test run up to the point of failure.
* Skipped Tests: Indicated by a dash (`-`), meaning no execution occurred.
* Sortable: Easily sort tests by their duration to identify long-running or quick tests.

### Clearer TIA Insights with Column Split

To make Test Impact Analysis (TIA) recommendations easier to understand, we've replaced the confusing "Run/Skipped" column with two distinct columns:

* "TIA Recommendation": Indicates whether TIA recommended the test to be `Run` or `Skip` based on your policy.
* "Actual Execution": Shows the actual execution status of the test as reported by the test runner (`Ran` or `Skipped`).
* Both new columns are sortable, allowing you to quickly analyze TIA's impact and actual test behavior.

### "Iteration" Column Renamed

The "Run #" column has been renamed to "Iteration" for improved clarity and consistency.

## Redesigned Test Metrics

The charts area has been completely redesigned to feature intuitive metric cards, providing quick, at-a-glance summaries.&#x20;

The previous "Ran / Skipped", "Recommendation Reasons", and "Test Results" charts have been replaced by the metric cards:

* **Recommendation** card: Displays the amount of tests recommended to run, including a horizontal bar chart visualizing recommended tests out of all tests.\

  A help icon provides an overlay with a list of Recommendation Reasons (e.g., Impacted Tests, Previously Failed, New Tests...) and their percentages.
* **Actual Execution** card: Shows two distinct metrics: "Ran Tests" (count) and "Skipped Tests" (count).
* **Test Results** card: Features a horizontal bar chart showing the percentage of Passed Tests (green) and Failed Tests (red).

## Streamlined User Experience

We've made several UX improvements to enhance navigation and customization.

* The old "Ran/Skipped" filter has been replaced by two new, precise filters: "TIA Recommendation" and "Actual Execution". These new options are also available in the "Manage Columns" menu, allowing you to show or hide the new columns as needed.
* The "Tests" tab label is now cleaner, simply displaying "Tests" without the count of tests (e.g., "Tests (1234)" is now just "Tests").
* Consolidated Download: We've replaced the two existing download buttons with a single "Download" button, which provides a dropdown menu for "Download Test Execution" and "Download Test Recommendations."
