Reports based on "comment" field of tests

[AntonyP]

Can i create reports that will contain all tests that have a specific word in their "comment" field? E.g., i have 50 tests of various alarms methods, that relate to a specific machine (ping of eth, ping of ser01 etc). I have added the word CISCO in their comment field. I would like to get a report about that machine, without having to put all those tests in a specific folder named CISCO.
Added to this, can the produced report mention somewhere the comment field of each test?

Thanks in advance

Its not very easy but I think its possible. You may create "Custom HTML" report profile and use some Java script (specified inside body of the report) to check %TaskComment% variable and write different records for different tests.
Something like

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> 
  if ("%CommentLine1%"=="CISCO") document.write("<tr><td>%TestName%</td><td>%Status%</td><td>%Reply%</td></tr>"); 
--></script>

Sure, Report Manager allows you to select list of fields. If you use "Custom HTML" report, you don't need this option becase you define report using template.
