Generating compound test result reports

When a compound test run is completed, a Test Log is shown in the Test Execution perspective. You can work with the information in the test log and also generate test result reports.

The Test Log displays the following details:
  • The General Information tab displays the name of the compound test and its description. The location of the test log file is also shown.
  • The Common Properties tab shows the verdict of the test results.
  • The Verdict Summary and Verdict List tabs provide a pie chart of verdicts for different components of the test, and a list of the first 20 verdicts. You can view details about the verdicts by clicking the links in the Verdict List tab.
You can export the contents of the test log to a full-text file.
  1. To export the contents of the test log to a full-text file, right-click the test run result under the Results folder of the compound test, and click Export Test Log.
  2. In the Export Test Log dialog, specify where the test log should be exported to, in the Location field.

    The test log is exported as a full-text file, with the test results run name, to the location you specified.
