A milestone is a named event — a release, a sprint, a beta, a go-live — that you can attach test runs to. When multiple runs are linked to a milestone, Collabase aggregates their results to give you a single pass rate, a failure count, and a pending count for that milestone. This tells you, at a glance, how ready a release actually is.

Milestone fields

How to create a milestone

1

Open your Test Project

Navigate to your Space, click Test Management in the sidebar, and open the project.
2

Click the Milestones tab

Inside the project, click the Milestones tab in the navigation bar.
3

Click New Milestone

Click New Milestone in the top-right corner.
4

Fill in the details

Give the milestone a name and optionally a description and a due date. Click Create.
You can link a run to a milestone at creation time or after the run has started.
In the Start Run dialog, select the milestone from the Milestone dropdown before clicking Start. The run is linked immediately and its results count toward the milestone from the first result recorded.

Tracking per-release quality

Once you have one or more runs linked to a milestone, open the milestone to see the aggregate view:
  • Pass rate — the percentage of all results across all linked runs that are PASSED
  • Passed / Failed / Pending counts — a breakdown of total results across all runs
  • Linked runs — each individual run listed with its own pass rate and status
This gives you a single answer to the question: “How good is this release?” — backed by actual execution data, not gut feel.
Create a milestone for every sprint or release before you start test runs. Linking runs as you go means the milestone view always reflects the latest state without any manual aggregation.

Marking a milestone as complete

When a release ships, open the milestone and click Mark as complete. The milestone moves to completed status and is hidden from the default view. You can still access it at any time by showing completed milestones.
Completing a milestone does not change any of its linked runs or their results. The historical record is always preserved.
