Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. Following topics cover how you can work with the test results.
- Publishing test result to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server
  The test result indicate the quality of the application under test. There could be different stakeholders to the application who do not have the product installed but want to check the quality of application. You, as the user of the product, can publish the test result to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server so that others can view it from the web browser.
- Publishing specific results to the server
  If you have a single test result or multiple test results that are not published to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you can publish a single or all of them simultaneously.
- 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.
  - Prerequisites to export unified reports as a PDF
    After you run tests in Rational® Functional Tester, the results are displayed in unified reports. Before you export the unified reports as a PDF, you must have read about the prerequisite tasks that you can perform to customize the appearance of the PDF files that are exported from the unified reports.
  - Customizing PDF files exported from unified reports
    When you want to change the default view of PDF files that are exported from unified reports, you can customize the view of the exported PDF files.
  - Removing customization of PDF files exported from unified reports
    When you customized the view of the PDF files exported from unified reports and you want to revert to the default view, you can remove the customization anytime.
  - Exporting unified reports
    After you run tests and when the unified report is generated, you can export the unified report to different file formats such as HTML, PDF, or XML(JUnit). By using the exported file, you can view the test details in the desired format and save the exported file for later use.
- Results for tests in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Web UI Test perspective.
- Results for tests in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Functional Test perspective.

Removing customization of PDF files exported from unified reports

When you customized the view of the PDF files exported from unified reports and you want to revert to the default view, you can remove the customization anytime.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Customized the view in PDF files exported from unified reports. See Customizing PDF files exported from unified reports.
Exported PDF files from unified reports. See Exporting unified reports.

About this task

You can open the eclipse.ini file and remove the parameters with the values that you set previously to customize the view of the exported PDF files.

After you save the eclipse.ini file, you must then restart IBM® Rational® Functional Tester before you export PDF files in the default view from unified reports.

Procedure

Open the eclipse.ini file that is located in the
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP folder.
Determine the parameters in the eclipse.ini that correspond to the customization that you no longer require.
The parameters that you had added earlier for customization can be any of the following:
- -Dreport.skipTableInPdf
  The parameter is used to highlight verification points in test steps and hide the tabular details of step steps from the generated PDF.
- -Dreport.snapShotSize
  The parameter is used to increase the size of screen captures, relative to the page width, that is displayed in the PDF.
- -Dreport.skipActionEventImageList
  The parameter is used to exclude screen captures of only specific SAP GUI test steps in the PDF.
Note: If you want to remove either the -Dreport.snapShotSize or -Dreport.skipActionEventImageList parameter with the values, you must also remove the -Dreport.skipTableInPdf parameter with the values.
Delete the parameters that you no longer require with their values from the eclipse.ini file.
Save the eclipse.ini file.
Restart IBM® Rational® Functional Tester with the -clean option.

Results

You have successfully removed the customization to view the exported PDF files that you no longer require.

What to do next

You can view and export the unified reports. See Exporting unified reports.
