Staging Document Editor - Reports Tab

The Reports tab of the Staging Document Editor lets you specify the report generator that you run for every test case or test suite.

The following report generators are available:

Default Report Generator

Captures functional, performance, and metric information and publishes that data to the reporting database referenced by the registry. The Reporting Portal uses that database.

Load Test Report Generator

Designed for load tests with thousands of virtual users. This report captures load metrics but not step-level metrics. If it captured step-level metrics, there would be too much data and the reporting database would slow down the test.

XML Report Generator

Creates an XML file with all the possible data that can be captured. The captured data can be limited using the report options. To view this report, import the file into the Reporting Portal.

Details of the data available in each report generator, viewing reports, report contents, and output options are discussed in detail in Reports.

The metrics to capture for the reports are discussed more fully in Generating Metrics.

Reports can be selected in the following modules and can be seen in the Report Viewer:

After they are requested, they can be viewed and managed later.
