Understanding the Unified Report View Results Window

If you are new to WinRunner, or you are integrating WinRunner and QuickTest tests, it is recommended to use the Unified Report view. For information on analyzing the results of a called QuickTest test, refer to the WinRunner User's Guide.

To view the unified report, choose Tools > General Options. In the Run category, confirm that Unified report view is selected.

Note: You can display the unified report view for a test only if either the Unified report view or the Generate unified report information option was selected when you ran the test. If you ran a test with WinRunner report view selected and Generate unified report information cleared, then you cannot view the unified report for that test run.

To open the Test Results window, choose Tools > Test Results or click the Test Results button . The WinRunner Test Results window opens in the unified report view.



For more information on opening the test results window, see Viewing the Results of a Test Run.
