Generate a customized summary graph (not at test item level)

Hi,



I have the following need:

Project summary graph is done at project item level. However, I would need to create another summary graph at a different level.



I have a smoke test which is executed before QA start manual testing of a new build (software version).

This smoke test has two different parts (Setup, Functionality), but each of them has a lot of "conceptual actions" included (ie. add new patient, add new user, add new specimen, add new tube, add new group, etc.) in data loops.



We could say, each of this "conceptual action" is a basic test case. Furthermore, the automated testing enables us to increase test coverage (positive and negative tests).



Then, when executing it, the summary pane could be (100% pass; 100% fail; 100% warning; 50% pass, 50% fail; 50% pass, 50% warning; 50% warning, 50% fail).



But the management wants to have a more detailed percentage of real execution without opening the full report.



I have gathered all information to generate the graph.



Is it possible to call the internal graphics tool, extension, plugin, ... and this graph?





Thansk in advance,





Raul


  • Hi Raul,





    Currently, the summary content cannot be generated from script. However, we have a corresponding suggestion in our database, and your request has increased its rating. Thank you.





    Instead of using TestComplete's log, you can write some custom summary data to an external file during the test run. To make the file be associated with your test log, you can post a link to the summary file in the first test item's log via the Log.File method. You should probably try using Excel files - Excel provides some features for graphs, as far as I know.
