Saving Results to a File

To document your testing procedures or collaborate with other testers, you can save the result of a visual test or test script to a file in either XML or tab-delimited, plain text format. After saving the file, you can then import the file into a reporting tool to view, manage, format, or print.

Note: To quickly view the result of a visual test or test script saved as a text file, you can import the file into Microsoft Excel as a tab-delimited file. The results appear organized by column header.

Open the result of a visual test or script.
Click one of the following results tabs:
- Summary
- Passed
- Failed
- Flags
- Details
Only data that appears for a selected tab is saved to the specified file. Filtered data that does not appear and data existing in other result tabs is not saved.
Choose File > Save As. The Save As dialog box opens with the default result name listed in the File name text box.
Note: To change the default result name, modify the Default Result Name option in the Playback Results options.
Select a location in which to save the file.
Enter a file name or use the default name.
Select a type of file format. You can save the results of any tab in either an XML or tab-delimited, plain text format.
Click Save.
