Test results and reports

Rational® Test Automation Server is a single location for hosting the results and reports of all tests run on different desktop clients and for tests run from the server.

Test results list

When a test run is complete, you can see the results on the Results page that you open from Analyze > Results in the navigation pane.

The list of test results is organized by types, you can display the suites only in the Suites tab, or the tests only in the Tests tab, or the tests and suites that are run with advanced settings in the Advanced tab.

Example of a test results list

When you expand the results, the results details and reports cards are displayed.

Results, reports, and logs are generated for tests run from Rational® Test Automation Server, or from desktop clients such as Rational® Performance Tester, Rational® Functional Tester, or Rational® Integration Tester.

You must have configured the desktop clients to publish reports of tests that are run from the desktop client to the Rational® Test Automation Server. For more information about the publishing procedure, refer to the links at the end of this page.

Test result details

By using the default settings, you can view the following details about the test assets used in the test run in the Details card:

You can configure the information displayed in the Details card and the Results columns from the View Settings window. You access this window by clicking the Settings icon Settings icon.

Depending on the attribute you cleared in the View Settings window, the Details card displays additional information about the test results.

The selected attributes are displayed in columns of the Result view.

Reports

The Reports card contains the links to the test reports and the logs that are displayed in a web browser.

As a default configuration, test logs are delivered in a traditional format for the executed compound tests and schedules. You can still set the -history jaeger Program Argument to produce Jaeger traces when you run the tests.

The reports are generated for Compound Tests, Schedules, and Test Suites. They can be run from a desktop client or from Rational® Test Automation Server.

The following table lists the reports that are generated for each type of test and the links to help pages.
