Report generation, how can you find the failed UUT among many tests?

[Rafi2003]

Hi,

I'm facing a complaint from the testing personel, claiming that after testing many UUTs using 'Test UUTs', it is time consuming to find the failed UUT among the many tests.

I was thinking about the following options:
1) Select the option showing only failed tests.
2) Is there a way to 'jump' immidiately to the failed test/step?
3) How easy it is to modify the sequence to generate a seperate report for each test?
4) How easy it is to customize the report to show failed steps + numeric measure steps (pass or fail)?

Thanks
Rafi

Hi Rafi,

To try to answer your points,
1) If this is to add a control on your operator interface, then this would be quite simple to implement. You can not do it to the SeqEditor but then you have the Configure Report... menu item, and then you can set the filtering.
2) If you are using TS3.x, and html/xml reports then its a simple matter of configuring the report. But they is an example of doing this. See Using TestStand manual Chapter 10. Or Chapter 6 of the Reference Manual
3) Again you can configure the report generator to produce a report for each UUT. So you dont need to modify your sequence. There's a checkbox to produce individual reports.
4)You can use the filtering to give you Failed results only. For 1) you can add a control on the panel to switch this
on or off.

I believe you should be able to do everything you need by use of the options already available in the Configure Report...
If you want to ensure the correct setting you can always use the override callback ReportOptions.

Hope this helps
