Output Formats
What format of test results CAT offers out-of-the-box?
CAT can produce outputs in these formats:
| Output | Suitable for | Saved |
|---|---|---|
| json | further automation using your favourite scripting language | at the end |
| xlsx | sharing test results with business users or developers | at the end |
| junit | visualization of results in automation pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab, …) | at the end |
| trx | visualization of results in automation pipelines (Azure DevOps, …) | at the end |
| yaml | further automation, troubleshooting | at the end |
| sqlserver | visualize tests results in your reporting platform | after each test |
| oracle | visualize tests results in your reporting platform | after each test |
Because CAT test are usualy run in multiple threads, the “file” otputs are generetad after all the tests are executed. The database outputs on the other hand insert a row about a finished test immediately after the test is executed. Take this into consideration if you have long running test suites - with database based outputs you will have at least some results i case you e.g., need to kill the process.
We are open to add other output formats, just let us know what you need.
