Output Properties
Complete list of properties CAT supports on the output
Some outputs - such as JUnit or TRX - expect exact set of properties in exact format.
On the other hand, other outputs are highly configurable and you can very easily adjust what you want and what you don’t want. This is especially valid for output to relational databases (see SQL Server output or ORACLE output). By simply creating a table with all of the columns mentioned here, or their subset, you can on two rows instruct CAT to export the test results into that table.
Remember CAT supports more naming conventions. Use naming convention you follow in your database. For CAT, TestResult, test_result, TEST_RESULT, Test Result is all the same. Some support more forms e.g., CAT will understand both Project and ProjectName.
