Trying to create a simple report
Hi,
I am a new user to RQM and I am having difficulty creating reports. I have created a couple of test plans. There is one test plan in particular that I want to report on. This test plan has 2 test suites in it and each one has about 40 test cases in it. I have added both the test suites and the test cases to the test plan.
All I want to do is create a very simple report for my test plan which shows how many test cases have passed, failed, blocked etc (I believe these are called TER states).
I have tried both using some of the default reports and creating my own. Every report I generate says there are no records returned for the report.
For example:
I chose the Execution Status using TER Count template and here are the problems I encounter.
1. There are 10 sections that appear allowing filtering of the test cases (e.g. Testplan, Test Milestone, Test Case, Machine, etc). Do I need to fill all of these in? We aren't even using the Machine data so I don't care about this.
2. If I select a test plan from the list, should that not automatically select all the test cases in that test plan for me? When we switched to RQM we imported about 12,000 test cases from our previous repository tool and it is difficult to navigate through all this to find the test cases. Plus I have already selected them when I was creating the plan so why do I need to do that again here?
I know there must be a simple way to do this and I am just missing some fundamental element. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Heather,
Do you know if the Jobs have run to populate the data warehouse? If you're not sure, I would first try to run the data collection jobs to make certain that the data warehouse is populated. The easiest way to do this is to do to the Reports tab on Jazz Team Server Home. On the Data Collection Jobs page there is a link to "Run all data warehouse collection jobs for all applications". Click this link to kick off the etls to populate the dw. You can go to the Data Collection Jobs Status page to confirm that the Jobs have completed and then try to run the reports.

No, if you do not care about a filter then you do not select it. Not
selecting anything in a prompt means it will not filter.
No. These are filters. I.e. if you select a test plan it will show all
TERs of that plan. If you then also select test cases then it will
further filter the TERs to only include the ones that are based on these
test cases and so on.
You do not have to as this allows you to filter further. When you click
the Reprompt button after you selected a plan the prompts will only show
the test cases for that plan to select.
Hope this helps,
Peter.
