Viewing Reports

You can use the JavaTest Report browser or a web browser to view reports.

View Reports in the Report Browser

Choose Report > Open Report from the menu bar. The JavaTest harness opens a file chooser dialog box for you to specify a report directory. When you choose a report directory, the JavaTest harness opens the Report Browser and displays the report.html file in that directory.

The JavaTest Report Browser

The Report Browser consists of:

Component Description
Menu bar The menu bar contains a File and a Help menu.
  • Use the File menu to generate new reports, open existing reports, and to close the Report Browser.
  • Use the Help menu to display Report Browser online help.
Tool bar The tool bar contains a File field and three navigation buttons.

The File field displays the name of the current report and provides a drop down list of reports previously opened in the browser. As reports are opened the JavaTest harness adds their names to the drop down list allowing you to navigate to any previously displayed report.

Report Browser's previous page button   Returns to the previously displayed report page.

Report Browser's next page button   Opens the next report page that was displayed.

Report Browser's homw page button   Returns to the report.html file. The report.html file is the root page and links to all of the other test report pages.

Contents area The Report Browser displays the report file contents in the area below the tool bar. The Report Browser displays text files as well as html files. For html files, you can use hyperlinks in the report to display additional related reports.
