Working with reports¶

For browser report output and the visual web report designer, see Report, import and export in the browser. The following steps describe the Windows access path.

Reports help you to extract, prepare and export information. Reports are generally based on REPX definitions created with the integrated report designer. Depending on the report and output format, you can view, print or export the generated result.

To generate reports, follow these steps:

1. Select the element (e.g. a test plan or a test run) from the structure view of the main window.
2. Right-click the element.
3. Select the sub menu "Reports" from the context menu.
4. Depending on the element, you will find zero or more reports in the sub menu.
5. Click on a report to let Zeta Test generate and display the report.

Report generation¶

The application loads the report definition, supplies the selected element and report parameters, prepares the data and displays the output. You do not need Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat to generate reports.

Creating and customizing reports¶

Current reports use REPX definitions. Copy an existing report into the project's Resources folder and edit it with Zeta Test Management Report Designer. See Create and customize reports for filenames, data queries, detail reports and testing with project data.

Available fields and parameters¶

Inspect the copied report's DataSet, field list and parameters in the report designer. Use the application's Edit DataSet command to change queries and relationships. Test from the application so that the selected project element and its parameters are supplied.
