 In the context of the Generic Test Automation Architecture (gTAA), the reporting layer is responsible for ensuring that the results from automated tests are properly communicated to other systems, such as a test management system. This layer handles the formatting and transmission of test results, making it possible for managers to quickly access and analyze the data. By integrating the test automation results with the test management system, the reporting layer facilitates informed decision-making based on comprehensive test data.

References = The ISTQB Test Automation Engineer syllabus outlines the gTAA and its layers, emphasizing the importance of the reporting layer in the context of result communication and integration with test management systems12. It is essential for the reporting layer to provide accurate and timely information to support the overall test process and enable effective management oversight1.
