Previous Topic

Detailed Bug Report
In Bug Registry you can print full information about one bug. This report includes bug parameters (description, type, severity, module, etc.) and full bug history in the table form. Every line in bug history table contains event (bug added, bug attached, bug fixed, etc.), event time and notes for this event. To create detailed bug report you must first open or activate bug view window, select bug in the list and then choose menu Reports -> Detailed bug report. This will activate preview window where you can see generated document prepared for printing. Then you can click Print button to print detailed bug report.

Bug Statistics

Statistical reports can be generated to easily measure company-wide issues, including statistics on the number, type and frequency of defect/ bug problems reported and solved. In this report you can see number of bugs of selected type, status, severity, etc in decreasing order.

To create statistical report you must first open or activate bug view window and then choose menu Reports -> Bug statistics. This will activate Report parameters dialog box. In this dialog box you can define columns for bug grouping and time period. For example, if you choose severity column you will get number of bugs of each severity (fatal, critical, serious, etc.) in decreasing order. After defining report parameters click OK button. This will activate preview window where you can see generated document prepared for printing. Then you can click Print button to print generated report.

Creating Charts

Chart builder lets you see your data graphically. Generate your own professional charts and reports using this intuitive product. Charts can be generated to easily measure company-wide issues, including statistics on the number, type and frequency of defect/bug problems reported and solved. In the chart you can see number of bugs of selected type, status, severity, etc. You can define time period to see how this number changed during it.

To create chart you must first open or activate bug view window and then choose menu Reports -> Chart builder. This will activate Chart builder window. In Chart builder window you can define chart parameters and see generated chart. You can choose chart appearance by changing chart type (Area, Line, Pie, etc.). You can generate 2D or 3D charts. When you choose chart type the chart will change its appearance immediately. Clicking on the Show legend flag will display/hide chart legend (description). You can enter chart title and footnote text, define column for chart data (module, severity, status, etc.). For example, if you choose severity column you will get number of bugs of each severity (fatal, critical, serious, etc.). If you want to exclude some column values from the chart you can do it by unchecking them in the Include values list. In the chart you can see current number of bugs of selected type, severity, status, etc. or see how number of bugs changed during time period.

After you have generated chart you can copy it to clipboard by clicking “Copy to clipboard” button or save it to BMP file by clicking “Save to BMP file” button.

Note: You will not be able to print or preview any report if you do not have printers installed on your computer. Please install a printer before trying to print any reports.
