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 view the unified reports that is generated by Rational® Functional Tester for all functional, mobile tests, or Web UI tests immediately after a test run.

If you want to view the unified reports of tests that ran, you can right-click the test result in the Test Navigator view, and then select the Display Unified Report option. See Viewing a unified report for Web UI tests, compound tests, and AFT Suites.
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.

When you play back a functional test script, the report is displayed in the browser that you configure in 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. When you want to view the test logs in any of the supported formats, you can change the default format for the test logs. See Logging page.

For Web UI tests including mobile tests, the unified report displays the details of the application along with their icons.

For functional tests, the unified report displays the details of the application along with a generic icon.

The Details pane of the unified report displays test details, test steps, and different iterations of each test run. The following table lists the details that are displayed for each test type:
