Installation Process for Reports and Dashboards Portal

You can either enable this dashboard functionality while installing/upgrading Qualitia Server or you can do it after you complete the installation or upgrade process. 

Qualitia consumes an additional database (except master and project databases) for managing data related to the dashboard functionality.

To enable Reports and Dashboards Portal:

  1. Log on to the machine where you have installed Qualitia Server. 
  2. Double-click the Qualitia Automation Studio Server icon.
    The Welcome to Qualitia Setup Wizard screen appears.
  3. Click Next.
    The Database Server Details screen appears.



  4. Click Next.
  5. Select Enable Dashboard option and enter the desired name for the dashboard database.



  6. Click Next and then click Install.
    Now you can access dashboards from the Dashboard section of Qualitia Automation Studio clients or using the dashboard URL on using any browser on any machine in the network.

Reports and Dashboard Portal URL contains the Hostname/IP:Port from the machine where Qualitia server is installed followed by the login page URL, that is, qualitia/sign-in. By default, system uses port number 8887 which users can change while installing Qualitia server.

The sample URL may look like:

You need to login and the landing screen contains the options to navigate to Web Dashboards, Real-time reporting or Server Administration portals, depending upon your user role in Qualitia.

Important Notes:

You can view the data of last 30 days for a project in the dashboard. You can filter the test execution dates from the filter given at the top of the screen. You can also filter the data based on other filters such as project, suite and so forth.

To view the detailed information about any bar/line from the chart, hover your mouse pointer over that bar/line.

If a test case is executed multiple times in a selected time frame, multiple occurrences are counted while loading the metrics and charts.

If there is no data present for the selected filter criteria, you will see a message in the widget that there is no data to display.

Dashboards


  • For test suites executions on desktop projects, the following charts are not displayed:
    • Test Execution Results Trend
    • Execution Trend on Web
    • Execution Trend on Mobile
    • Test Execution Trend for Both (Mobile & Web Executions)
    • Failures by Browser
    • Failures by Operating System
  • Web Dashboards display the suite execution results as per the time zone of the QAS server.

Automation Test Progress Report

  • Tests Executed: Displays the total number of test cases that have been executed.
  • Total Pass: Displays the total number of passed test cases.
  • Total Fail: Displays the total number of failed test cases.
  • Total Defects: Displays the total number of test cases that have defects.
  • Tests Not Executed: Displays the total number of test cases that are marked for execution but did not get executed due to one reason or another.

Real Time Reporting Portal

Introduction

  • Through a Qualitia Client: It directly displays the Res.
  • Through an Offline Suite: It displays the login screen if the offline suite used is present on your machine and configured with the Qualitia Server. Ensure that you have access to the associated project to track the test suite execution progress. 

Real Time Reporting shows the reports of test cases executed through a TFS/Azure DevOps pipeline only after the pipeline execution is completed.

Real Time Reporting Portal does not support test cases executed through HP ALM.

Accessing Real Time Reporting Portal

Pre-Requisites

  • Enable the Real Time Reporting checkbox in the mapped execution profile or Systems Execution Profile Settings.

  • The Real Time Reporting Server has enough drive space to displays test suite results. For more information, refer to Server Space Notification.
  • For an offline suite execution, your computer is connected to Qualitia Server. Also, you need to specify the Qualitia Server URL in the Settings tab of Qualitia Offline Configuration Manager

Uploading Multiple Suite Execution Reports to Real Time Reporting Portal

  • From any computer
    You can directly upload the reports from your computer if its connection with Qualitia Server is steady. Also, it must have all the test suite execution reports that you want to upload.

  • From the Qualitia Server
    You can use Qualitia Server to expedite the uploading of reports as there is no chance of network connection failure.

  1. None of the reports you want to upload are:

    • Already uploaded to the Real Time Reporting portal, except for the ones that were aborted due to loss in network connectivity.

    • Incomplete as the suite execution is still in progress.

    • Generated using Qualitia version lower than 8.0.

  2. Your system must have an offline package. If your system has Qualitia client, you can create an offline package. For detailed instructions, refer to Creating an Offline Package.
    Else, you can transfer an offline package from any other computer that contains the offline package to your system.

  3. Qualitia server has enough space available. If the Real Time Reporting portal shows an error message that the available drive space is less than 10%, contact the Qualitia Admin to purge old reports to free up space.

  1. Create a folder on the system from where you want to upload the reports.

  2. Copy each suite execution report folder (ITR_xxx) that you want to upload.

  3. Open the Command Prompt, and navigate to the folder where the Qualitia offline jar is present.

  4. Enter the following code:
    java -jar qualitiaoffline-8.3.0.jar UploadReport=true QualitiaServerURL="<Qualitia_Server_URL>” ReportPath="<Report_Path>" allowScreenshots="Yes"
    The following parameters denote:

    1. QualitiaServerURL is the URL of the Qualitia Server.

    2. Report Path is the location of the folder that contains the suite execution reports

    3. allowScreenshots is used to upload the screenshots of the reports. Enter “Yes” to upload screenshots or enter “No” if you do not want to upload associated screenshots.
      Note:

      1. If you are uploading reports from Qualitia server, then you do not need to specify allowScreenshots=”Yes”.

      2. If you do not enter the allowScreenshots parameter, then by default the screenshots of the reports are uploaded.

  5. Press Enter to start uploading the reports.
    For every report, the following details are displayed:

    1. The upload progress in percentage.

    2. The confirmation message for the reports uploaded successfully and they are removed from the reports folder.

    3. The failure message for the reports that failed to upload.
