# High-Visibility Quality Gates & Failed Test Tracking

We’ve updated the SeaLights Coverage Dashboard to bridge the visibility gap between your test results and your release decisions. This update introduces a brand-new metric for tracking failures and a visual overhaul of how Quality Gate violations are displayed.

### 1. New Metric: Remaining Failed Tests

We’ve added a dedicated **"Remaining Failed Tests"** column to the Coverage Dashboard and Test Stage tables. This provides a definitive count of unique failures that actually need your attention.

* **At-a-Glance Totals:** View the count of unique tests that failed in their last run, aggregated across all stages at the build level.\

* **Test Stage Precision:** Drill down to see specific failure counts for individual stages.<br>

* **The "Last Result" Logic:** This metric intelligently counts unique tests whose **last execution status** in the build was "Failed". If a test failed but passed in a later execution, it won't count here.
* **Detailed Drill-Down:** Click the list icon next to any failure count in the Test Stage table to open a searchable, paginated popup. This view shows the **Test Name** and **Latest Iteration Number**, allowing you to see exactly which tests are blocking your release.<br>

### 2. Visual Quality Gate Indicators

To make build status immediately obvious, we have introduced a **Red Highlight** system for Quality Gate violations.

Rather than checking settings manually, any metric that is part of an active Quality Gate will now turn **Red** if it violates your threshold. This applies to:

* **Overall Coverage**
* **Code Changes Coverage**
* **Remaining Failed Tests** (New!)

When you see red on your dashboard, you know exactly which metric caused the Quality Gate to fail, allowing for immediate remediation.

### 3. Pro-Tip: Upgrade to "Latest Result " Mode

To get the most out of these new dashboard indicators, we strongly recommend moving your Quality Gate configurations to use the **Latest Result Method for Failed Tests.**&#x20;

The "Remaining Failed Tests" metric and its corresponding red-text alerts are designed to work in tandem with this mode, providing the most accurate reflection of your build's quality.
