Unified reports

Unified reports in Rational® Functional Tester provide a detailed overview of the test results. Unified reports also provide an extensive user interface that you can use to analyze or apply filters on the test results.

You can generate the unified reports for all the test types in the Functional and Web UI perspectives of Rational® Functional Tester.

When you play back a Functional test script, the report is displayed in the browser that you configure in the Preferences of Rational® Functional Tester. You can view the generated results as a unified report, which is the default option when you play back Functional test scripts. For information about how to change the result type for Functional test scripts, refer to the related links.

For Web UI tests, Compound tests, and AFT Suites, you can generate the unified reports from the Results folder. For information about how to generate the unified report for Web UI tests, Compound tests, and AFT suites, refer to the related links.
Note: If the Results folder is not available in the project, the unified report is stored in the Web UI test, Compound test or AFT Suites folder.

For a single Functional test script or Web UI test, the Details pane of the unified report displays the test details and the test steps. If you generate a unified report for an AFT Suite, the Details pane displays the details of all the available Web UI tests, Functional test scripts and Compound tests. If you generate a unified report for a Compound test, the Details pane displays the details of all the available Web UI tests and Functional test scripts. The Details pane also displays the different iterations for each test run.

When you play back SAP GUI tests in Web UI perspective, the unified report is also displayed in the browser apart from the Statistical Report, and Mobile and Web UI report.

You can perform the following actions on the unified report:
  • When you expand a test by using the icon in the Details pane, you can view all the passed and failed steps for each test. You can select each test step to view the details. Test steps that fail with an exception are highlighted.
