Studio:Reporter

Introduction

The STRIDE Reporter allows you to track and report test cases for scripts, store test data in XML format, and produce HTML output for viewing of test case results.

The STRIDE Reporter tracks two primary objects: Suites and Test Cases, which are further described as follows:

• A Suite is a collection of Test Cases and other Suites. A Suite has a name, a description, and zero (0) or more children, which can be either Test Cases or other sub Suites.
• A Test Case represents a single pass/fail item and it consists of a name, a description, any test data that is added during the lifetime of the TestCase, and a status. The status can be any one of the following:
  • PASS
  • FAIL
  • IN PROGRESS
  • NOT APPLICABLE (or N/A)

string MakeReport (     string file [optional],     bool linked [optional] )	Method	Builds an HTML report for all suites. A filename can be passed in so the HTML results can be written to that file -- otherwise, the default filename of SuiteReport.html is used. If a full path is not specified as part of the filename, the report is generated in the STRIDE installation directory. If the linked parameter is set to true, each suite will be shown as a link in the parent suite's report. This method is a shortcut to reporter.Suites.MakeReport().
