# Analytics

## What is this?

The analytics page shows metrics and trends for a selectable range
(30/90/180/365 days) — unlike the dashboard, which shows the current status
and what needs action right now.

## How to use it

- **Lab/Project:** The toggle below the KPI tiles picks the scope. "Lab"
  (default) shows every metric organization-wide; "Project" narrows them
  down to a single project chosen from the dropdown — useful for measuring a
  project's performance instead of the whole organization's. The selection
  lives in the URL (`?projectId=…`) and survives changing the range or the
  analysis.
- **Range:** The four buttons in the top right select the analysis range.
  All metrics and charts refer to this range (and, if active, the selected
  project).
- **KPI tiles:** Completed tests, pass rate, avg. test duration, open test
  cases (with overdue count), and active testers (distinct people with a
  recorded execution in the range) — each with a trend arrow versus the
  equally long previous period, where meaningful. They always stay
  visible, regardless of which analysis is selected below.
- **Choosing an analysis:** The dropdown below the KPI tiles always shows
  only one of the following analyses at a time, not all of them stacked.
  The selection lives in the URL (`?view=…`) and survives a reload.
- **Test throughput per week:** Passed/failed tests per week.
- **Failures by test case group:** Where most failures happened in the
  range.
- **Station utilization:** Busy time per test station in the range.
- **Recurring failures:** The test case definitions that failed most often
  in the selected range — a plain frequency count as a starting point for
  spotting recurring problems. Clicking an entry opens the test case
  definition.
- **Workload by assignee:** Open test cases per person, weighted by
  estimated duration — independent of the range filter, because open work
  has no completion date to fall inside a window.
- **Estimate accuracy:** Actual duration versus estimate per test case
  group.
- **Project progress:** Progress bars for each active project with test
  cases.
- **Export:** The button at the top downloads all metrics and tables on
  this page as a file for the selected range.

## Common issues

- **"Active testers shows 0 even though tests were run."** It counts
  whoever recorded an execution (`performedAt`) within the selected range —
  with a very short range this can be empty even if there was activity
  overall.
- **"Workload by assignee doesn't change with the range filter."**
  Intentional: open work has no completion date that could fall into a
  time window — the metric always shows the current state.
