Best Practice for attachments within RQM and using RPE to generate Test Case Execution Results including attachments.
What are the best practices to include evidence (attachments) during Test Case Execution Run. We are using RQM version 6.0.1 and RPE to generate reports. Our goal is to generate RPE Test Case Execution Report to review and approve the test results.
Please share your insight and experience.
Thanks

You can insert the image and Word /RTF document in RPE output by using Image / Include File elements in the template. However, if you have .xls / .pdf or attachments of any other format, you can only display Hyperlinks to the attachment in the output.
You can download the RQM attachments to local path using RQMURLUtility during document generation and then embed them as OLE in Word output. This es explained in https://rpeactual.com/2015/11/13/embed-attachments-as-oles-in-the-rpe-word-output/

Subramanya,
Thanks for your prompt response, it is very helpful.
Do you have an example of RPE Test Result output with an attachment ?
You can find the output (along with sample template) in the attachment. https://rpeactual.com/2015/11/13/embed-attachments-as-oles-in-the-rpe-word-output/

Hi PJ Singh,
I do not have an experience but I have some information to share with you.
There is a technote to add attachments of TestPlan in the RPE report: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21697615 Perhaps you can evaluate the sample template in this technote, and modify some queries for TCER such as executionresult/stepResults/stepResult/stepAttachment/href.
Here is the detail how to use "Include file" element in RPE: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6RHZ_2.1.1/com.ibm.rational.pe.publishing.doc/topics/t_element_include_file.html
