Lesson 3.2: Generating a functional test report

You can generate functional test reports of your tests, which summarize the pass or fail verdicts of elements in the test log. The functional reports from the test run are generated as HTML or PDF files that use predefined report designs.

About this task

In this lesson, you learn how to produce a PDF or HTML report that covers the functional behavior of the service. The following report types are available:

Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) reports: These reports are faster to generate, but do not contain graphs.
Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) report: These reports contain graphs but are slower to generate. You can customize and create your own BIRT report designs in the Report Design perspective of the workbench.
