Each report has a Parameters section, listing the criteria that you can use to run that report. If you use the same report and parameters repeatedly, you can make a copy of the report and save the parameters for easy access. Many of the reports are interactive and allow you to drill down into the information that is presented in the report. You can click on links, bar graphs, and pie charts to see specific information.
You can also install the Rational Common Reporting tool to create custom reports that use powerful Cognos reporting server technology. You can create new custom reports, or you can copy and modify the set of predefined reports that are included in Rational Common Reporting.
Rational Quality Manager has a seamless user interface for running and viewing the custom reports. Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer is required to create and edit the custom reports. You then import them into Rational Quality Manager, where you can run and view them like the predefined Rational Quality Manager reports.
Report Type (Theme) | Descriptions |
---|---|
Defects | Defects reports show the number of defects created, the number of defects resolved, and the total number of open defects. You can also get a list of defects based on selected parameters, such as the test plan, test milestone, test case, machine, owner, and test execution record state. |
Execution | Execution status reports show the status of test execution records based on their counts or weights. You can obtain status for test plans, owners, test schedules, categories, defects, and machines. Use the trend report to estimate the actual test execution progress against the planned progress. |
Lab Management | Lab management reports show usage information about lab resources. You can view reservation information for each lab resource, the average response time for lab resource requests, the percentage of free time on each lab resource, the rate at which lab resources, that are included in lab resource groups, are reserved within a specified time period, and all the requests for lab resources by the states of the requests (for example, submitted or fulfilled). |
Requirements | Requirements reports show test coverage information about your plan requirements. You can also view execution status by requirement, measured against the test execution record count or the weight. |
Scorecard | The Scorecard report gives an overview of test case status, test execution counts and result points, and defect counts. |
Summary | Summary reports show the status of test execution records by weight or count for each owner selected. These reports include an overview of unfinished work, which is useful to the tester. In addition, you can view test execution records by test schedule, which shows an overview of test execution details for weight, point status, and execution attempts. |
System | System reports list test execution records and show the execution status of manual tests. These reports are only available to the administrator. |
Test Case | Test case reports list a range of test case details, filtered by test case, team, configuration, create state, and defect impact. Use the Test Case Review report to see side-by-side charts showing test case details, requirements work items, and other work item by test case. |
After you run a report, you can export the results to external applications.
