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The previous "Ran / Skipped", "Recommendation Reasons", and "Test Results" charts have been replaced by the metric cards: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