Results by Label Report
Is it possible to specify which labels are displayed in the "Test execution results by label" report instead of having to display all of them?
To answer your question, I don't think you can do what you're looking for in the Labels report - it would need to have a post-generation function to click labels on/off like it does for the execution statuses. If it was sufficient for you to see a list of test cases that fit your criteria, that is possible using the logic I described above: you would see only test cases that have a label IN(x, y, z), but this is a very different report to what you were originally looking for.
If you could describe your use case I might be able to help suggest an alternative way to achieve the same result. Alternatively, you could export the dataset from your report and work with that in Excel - I don't know of any other option.
Yes, this seems to be another example of Reports being the weakest part of the Zephyr toolset. So far, reporting limitations have been my biggest frustration with using Zephyr.
Example use case- Individual test cases are grouped by functional area in the UI, because that's what makes sense on the development side and the testing side. Features may cross multiple functional areas and may overlap. A single release can include multiple Features. Product wants a report on regression testing progress for a release by Feature. How do I do that? Since there's overlap between the Features, it doesn't make sense to put their test cases in separate test plans, because then the same test would need to be run twice for each test plan. Tracking Features by label isn't good either because the report would include labels that aren't relevant to this release. We could associate test cases with a specific 'Feature' ticket and group them that way, but the 'traceability' type reports seemed to only be grid-based, not charts.
And having to export the dataset in order to create the report completely negates the biggest advantage of going with Zephyr as our test management tool- Product can look at QA progress in a dashboard whenever they want to. It's incredibly frustrating. (And not your fault, I know! I do appreciate your taking a look and seeing if there'a any other options I've missed.)
