    Sorry I couldn't help with this one.  While the standard reports are OK, there are some bugs and no configuration options so I opted to export the datasets and built my own reporting suite and dashboards in Excel, using a master 'dataset' sheet into which I pasted the dataset daily, and upon which, my reports and graphs would automatically run.

     

    You might not want to go to all that effort but the dataset option might be worth exploring for this particular scenario if the reporting isn't going to work for you.

     

    Best of luck.

I can't speak with any authority in this area as it's not one I've had to use, but I have used the standard report features a lot.  Have you tried selecting the Last Test Execution option instead of the default All Test Executions - that might be what you're looking for.  If not, choosing the Custom Query Filter in the reports opens up many parameters within Test Case, Cycle, Plan, and Execution that might offer some help.  There's also a section of Issue related reports, e.g. "Issues reported during testing by coverage" that might work for what you need.

 

Best, Andy

Hi Andy

Yes, I have tried last execution, custom query, etc - but while I can limit what tests are hit, once a test is found, it always shows me ALL the places it has been linked to - so I see issues from previous releases. I think that is just the nature of this report.

    Oh - and I will play around with the Actual End Date setting. Once I have some test runs with the new release - maybe I can limit things with the End Date.

        Thanks Andy

         

        I was hoping to not have to go the export dataset route and create my own. Will probably use things as best I can for now, and if pushed will go the export route.
