Home Dashboard Overview

Omar Masad -

The home dashboard is the first thing you see when you open TestApp.io. It provides a bird's-eye view of your entire team's testing activity, surfacing the most important metrics and recent actions so you can stay on top of your QA workflow.

Stats Cards

At the top of the dashboard, four stats cards give you an instant snapshot of your workspace:

  • Active Apps: The total number of apps currently set up in your team. This tells you the scope of your testing portfolio at a glance.
  • Releases This Week: How many builds have been uploaded across all your apps in the current week? A useful pulse check on your team's shipping cadence.
  • Open Blockers: The count of unresolved blocker-priority issues across all apps. This is one of the most important numbers on the dashboard — if it is greater than zero, there are critical issues that need attention before any release can ship.
  • Team Members: The total number of people in your workspace, including developers, testers, and managers.
Tip: Keep an eye on the Open Blockers count daily. A rising number indicates that critical issues are accumulating faster than they are being resolved.

Top Apps

Below the stats cards, the Top Apps section highlights your most active applications. Each entry shows the app name, platform, and key activity metrics such as recent release count and open task count. This section helps you quickly identify which projects are most active and may need your attention.

Click on any app in this section to jump directly to its overview page, where you can see releases, tasks, and version history.

Recent Activity

The Recent Activity feed is a live timeline of the latest actions across your entire team. It shows events such as:

  • New releases uploaded
  • Tasks created, updated, or completed
  • Blockers reported or resolved
  • Team members joining or being invited
  • Comments added to tasks

Each activity entry includes who performed the action, what they did, and when it happened. This feed is invaluable for keeping track of what your team is working on without having to check each app individually.

Blockers Across Apps

The Blockers Across Apps widget collects all open blocker-priority issues from every app in your workspace into a single view. For each blocker, you can see:

  • The app it belongs to
  • The blocker title and description summary
  • When it was reported
  • Who it is assigned to

This consolidated view is essential for team leads and QA managers who need to ensure that no critical issue slips through the cracks. You can click on any blocker to go directly to its task detail page, where you can review the full description, add comments, or resolve it.

Note: Blockers represent issues that must be fixed before a release can ship. For a complete guide on how to report, track, and resolve blockers, see Blocker Tracking: Report and Resolve Critical Issues.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard widget shows your team's top contributors ranked by activity points. Team members earn points for actions such as uploading releases, creating tasks, resolving blockers, and completing QA work. The leaderboard displays each contributor's name and their accumulated points.

The leaderboard serves two purposes:

  1. Recognition: It highlights team members who are most actively contributing to your testing efforts.
  2. Visibility: It helps managers understand workload distribution and identify who is driving QA progress.

The dashboard is your starting point, but every element on it is interactive. Use the sidebar to navigate to specific sections:

  • Home: Returns you to the dashboard from anywhere.
  • Apps: Lists all your apps. Click any app to access its Overview, Releases, Tasks, Versions, Activity, and Settings.
  • Team Settings: Manage team members, invitations, and workspace configuration.

The dashboard updates in real time, so you are always looking at the latest state of your workspace. Make it a habit to check the dashboard at the start of each day to understand where your team stands.
