    Hi,

     

    I don't know about JUnit reporting with ReadyAPI, but your general requirements:-

    - Report results for every loop in test

    - Don't stop when a test fails.  Continue to the end and let me see what had failed.

     

    Report results for every loop in test : In my data loops, I use a Datasink step to record the test and result as a single row in a text file.  After the test, I import this text file (it's a CSV) into Excel where I have my nicely formatted result sheets.

     

    Don't stop when a test fails.  I'm assuming you're using assertions.  In my opinion these are great in tests, but less so in data-driven (data loop) tests.  Instead of assertions, I use a Groovy script which compares the actual result from the service with the expected in my datasource and write the result in the datasink step.

     

    Have a look at this similar question:- https://community.smartbear.com/t5/ReadyAPI-Questions/How-to-get-pass-fail-status-of-groovy-scripting-in-excel-sheet/m-p/222998#M54602
