3.21.2 Writing your own BIRT reports

The BIRT reports are examples of how you could document your quality over time. You can also create other reports to generate depending on which details you want to see in the reports. To create reports, you will need to use the BIRT designer from Actuate. There is an open source version and a commerical version of the designer.

The following information describes what information from the Database can be used to generate BIRT reports. For help using BIRT, please see the BIRT documentation.

There are four Database tables that contain relevant data for test results:

testresult_summary
This table contains one row per executed Test Suite and corresponds to the Test Result Summary View in the ITE .
testresult
This table contains further information about each test run (each row in the testresult_summary table), including all executed nodes.
parameter_details
This table contains the name, type and value for all parameters (data) in the executed test.
parameter_list
This table gives a parent-child relation between the executed nodes from the testresult table and the parameters in the parameter_details table.
