Basics of a penetration testing report

A penetration testing report is a documentation of the summary of all the findings during a penetration testing process, including but not limited to the methodologies used, scope of the work, assumptions, severity of the vulnerabilities, and so on. The penetration testing report solely serves as the complete document for the penetration test, which could be used for elimination of the discovered vulnerabilities and for further reference as well.
