Reviewing and Reporting
Test Results
This chapter introduces Phase V of the Testing Methodology, Reporting.
After you run a testcase, script, suite or testplan, SilkTest automatically

show you:
·
How to interpret the information contained in the results file
·
What you can do with the information in the results file
·
The reports that SilkTest can produce from the information in the results
file
