- You can design your own test reports using Report Designer.
- Report Designer helps you by creating a default report layout based on the test
parameters.
- Report Designer allows you to fully customize the test report layout, by adding
new text, removing text, removing/adding predefined labels, resizing controls, moving
the controls, aligning controls, etc.
- To help you for an easy test results entry, the controls in the results entry
screen vary based on the context. For example, when a parameter is of observation
type (where the possible values are predefined), the control becomes a drop-down
combo box. This helps you quickly select a value from the list instead of typing
them and all the controls, including combo-box appear with a default (normal) value.
This would also mean you save lot of time in manual typing where (on an average)
test results are normal.
- Using Test Report Page Styles, you can predefine a set of page styles, which can
later be applied to test reports. This allows you to define one page style and apply
it to all tests that need similar page settings.
- Test reports can be sent as Fax or Email.
