Excluding Elements without Tests in an RTF report
« on: September 12, 2013, 07:41:55 am »
I've generated multiple internal test cases for my screen specs, and am now trying to export them to RTF to support testing.
The problem is that the default testing template lists all elements, most of which don't have test cases, resulting in an 88 page document that should be a quarter that length.
How can I exclude elements that do not have child Tests?
I don't see a way to do this in the template properties.
Thanks!

hi david,
you may use "Include child elements even if the parents element is filtered out" from Advanced tab, and add a filter from Element filters tab, i guess this will help.

Thanks Nabil, but this still produced a report containing all elements. Perhaps my filter isn't excluding all elements.
However, I'm not sure if this approach would work -- I don't think a Test is an Element.
I'm currently trying to use report fragments to identify elements which have 1 or more tests, and then I'll try to fragment within that to list the tests. It seems like a lot of work for what I'm trying to do. I really wish EA had conditional logic available in its reports.

Model Document compounded with custom searches may help you to achieve this.
