Applying Filters in Result Viewer

In the Result Viewer format report, you have the option to filter out events based on statuses. Click on the filter icon, a small window would be displayed with checkboxes for every status(Passed, Failed, Warning, and Done). You can also apply filters based on Node type(Iteration, Action, Step, Reporter, Checkpoint / Output Value). Select the required checkboxes and click the OK button. The report viewer would apply the filters and display only selected statuses.

If you are having multiple rows in the UFT Datatable and executing a Test in the iteration for each row a comprehensive report would be generated. For instance, if you are running a Test for ten iterations and a couple of steps are is failing inside 5 iterations. You want to analyze the issue in this situation, you can put a filter on the Failed status and set the iteration from 1 to 5 as shown in the following snapshot.

You can also clear filters by clicking on the “Clear All”button.    

View the Runtime DataTable
