Dashboard Types

Home Dashboard

The project home page provides centralized access to all project information:
  • Statistics bar with counts of requirements, failure modes, risk controls, test cases, and hazards
  • Document inventory organized by space showing document type, status, and work item counts
  • Quick links to space dashboards, role dashboards, and key reports
  • Standards compliance matrix showing ISO 26262, AIAG-VDA, IATF 16949, and SOTIF readiness
See Home Dashboard for full details.

Space Dashboards

Each project space (Requirements, Design, Risks, Testing, Documentation) has its own dashboard:
SpacePurposeKey Metrics
Requirements SpaceManage customer, system, and design requirementsRequirement counts, traceability coverage, specification documents
Design SpaceTrack system elements, functions, characteristicsElement hierarchy, function allocation, characteristic definitions
Risks SpaceOversee failure modes and risk controlsFMEA document inventory, action priority distribution, mitigation status
Testing SpaceMonitor verification and validation coverageTest case counts, coverage by requirement, validation evidence
Documentation SpaceManage specification documents and LiveDocsDocument status, review workflows, publication history

Role Dashboards

TestAuto2 includes five specialized dashboards tailored to different project roles:
RoleDashboardFocus
Safety EngineerHARA analysis, hazard tracking, safety goal derivation, ASIL allocationISO 26262 compliance, risk mitigation status
Design EngineerSystem hierarchy, design requirements, design FMEA (DFMEA), characteristicsDesign completeness, failure mode coverage by component
V&V EngineerTest cases, verification status, coverage metrics, validation evidenceVerification/validation completeness, traceability gaps
Configuration ManagerRisksheet/PowerSheet configurations, RTM model, custom fields, workflowsConfiguration consistency, version control, impact analysis
Program ManagerProject timeline, milestone status, resource allocation, risk burn-downSchedule health, budget tracking, risk trend analysis

Compliance and Readiness

Standards Compliance Overview

The Standards Compliance Overview dashboard provides live tracking against four automotive safety standards:
  • ISO 26262 (Functional Safety)
    • Part 3: Concept Phase (Hazard Analysis + Safety Goals)
    • Part 4: System Design Phase (HARA, SFMEA, Risk Controls)
    • Part 5: Hardware Design Phase (DFMEA, Characteristics)
    • Part 6: Software Development Phase (Code Review, Testing)
  • AIAG-VDA FMEA
    • System FMEA (Functional failure analysis)
    • Design FMEA (Design failure analysis)
    • Process FMEA (Manufacturing failure analysis)
  • IATF 16949 / APQP
    • Advanced Product Quality Planning
    • Control Plans
    • Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
  • ISO 21448 (SOTIF)
    • Hazard analysis beyond malfunction scenarios

Safety Readiness Scorecard

The Safety Readiness Scorecard calculates per-standard readiness using four metrics:
MetricCalculation
Requirements Completeness %Defined requirements / target requirements
Traceability Coverage %Requirements with at least one link (refines, verifies, validates, mitigates) / total
Verification Completeness %Requirements with back-linked test evidence / total
FMEA Mitigation Status %Failure modes with post-mitigation Action Priority assigned / total
The overall safety readiness combines these metrics per standard to produce a single readiness percentage and visual traffic-light indicator.

Reports Available

Visual Key

The statistics bar on each dashboard shows real-time artifact counts across the project (e.g., “31 System Requirements, 260 Failure Modes, 49 Test Cases”). Click any statistic to drill down into a filtered view of that artifact type.
Green bars indicate complete traceability chains (e.g., “Customer Req → System Req → Design Req → Test Case”). Yellow bars show partial coverage. Red indicates gaps. Use these to identify missing links quickly.
Failure modes and risk controls use color coding: 🟢 Green = acceptable risk, 🟡 Yellow = action required (ALARP), 🔴 Red = unacceptable risk. Post-mitigation ratings must reach green or yellow to close the risk.
