Need of Pre & Post Execution Report?

Execution Reports play an important role in the validation of test execution and its analysis. Now, OpKey is implemented with such advanced feature known as Pre & Post Execution Report (Pre & Post Validation Report). OpKey users were looking for such reporting feature. This reporting feature helps you to create Pre & Post execution report of your own sample uploaded in word format. Here, you can create your own format so that you can customize your format and add desired fields that you need.

Getting started with the Pre & Post Execution Report

Now, OpKey allows you to generate Pre as well as Post execution report for the Test Case and Suite. You don’t need to execute the Test Case or Suite in order to generate the Pre-Execution (Validation) Report.

Before creating Pre or Post Execution report, make sure that you have uploaded sample report in OpKey from Reports (Beta) tab under Project Management in OpKey Admin Panel.

Uploading Sample Reports

Click on Upload Template icon to upload a new report template.
Select template and click on Open. Only a single template can be uploaded in one go.

Here, two template samples have been uploaded successfully. You can download a sample Validation report by clicking on the Download sample template icon.
You can update, export and delete uploaded template, as required.

Next tab, System Fields contains a list of the unique fields that can be added in the sample report to be uploaded which results filling of respective test data in the mapped fields in the Pre and Post-execution reports.

Note: System Fields (E.g. Test Script ID, Test Script Name etc.) in which test data will be filled in exported report, must be mapped under the Test Procedures table in the uploaded sample template. Go through the System Fields table for details about those fields, as showing above…

You can add your custom field tags from the Custom Fields tab in the selected project. Once you saved the newly added a new tag in Tag Name field, Field Name gets automatically added as per the set standard. While exporting Pre or Post-execution report, you can add Custom Field(s) and get added respective test data in the exported report.
