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.

About this task

On the unified report page, you can click the Export button at the top-right corner to directly export the unified report to an HTML file, which is the default option. The exported report includes the summary, test steps, and screenshots.

You can also export the unified report to other available file formats and set preferences for the details that you want to export.

Procedure

Click the ellipses button .
Select one of the following file formats from the Choose File Format list:
- HTML(Default): Select HTML(Default) to export the report in an HTML file.
  Note: The HTML file is downloaded as a zip file. You must extract the zip file to view the HTML file.
- PDF: Select PDF to export the report in a PDF file.
  Restriction: The verification points that are captured for functional tests are not included in the PDF file.
- XML(JUnit): Select XML(JUnit) to export the report in the JUnit format. You can use the Junit XML to publish test results to Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. For example, Azure Pipeline.
Select one of the following checkboxes to specify the details that must be included in the exported file.
- Include Steps: Select this checkbox to include the summary and steps of the playback in the report.
- Include Screenshots: Select this checkbox to include the summary, test steps, and screenshots of the playback in the report.
- Notes:
  - When both the checkboxes are not selected, then the exported report contains only the summary.
  - These checkboxes are disabled when you select XML(JUnit) because they are not applicable for the JUnit format.
Click Export.
