TRX to HTML generator

Tuesday, 20 April 2010 10:48 Ajay Majgaonkar C#

Its been long that I wanted to document about this command line utility developed in C# to generate html report file from Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 report file (trx). It is compatible with TRX merger utility, which means it can consume the output file of the merger to produce html files for reporting.

LINQ to XML

Monday, 19 April 2010 17:31 Ajay Majgaonkar C#

After I built the TRX to html report generator, there was a little obvious need to have it centrally available so that team members can upload the results to a central place and manager(s) and PMs can view them. The requirement was a web-based report viewer. I could have built it using the same old tool with some web-pages to give links to the reports, but I also wanted to take out the tester's dependency to have the html generator tool. I turned to develop a simple web-app to do the job.

Sample of Pivot SQL

Tuesday, 06 April 2010 14:16 Ajay Majgaonkar SQL

As a part of reporting, my friend faced a simple looking problem. He was struggling for almost half a day to solve this by a SQL query. When he showed me the problem, I just realized that it is something that we usually do in excel called pivot tables and I asked him to look over the internet if there is something called "pivot query" and to our surprise there is something called as that...we just didn't know, so I am going to document it.

TRX merger for Visual Studio Team System 2008

Monday, 18 May 2009 13:08 Ajay Majgaonkar C#

People working on test projects that involve test management and execution from Visual Studio Team System 2008 and who do not have a TFS server for reporting will find this a handy utility.

I have already shown how one can generate a simple html report from a .trx - Visual Studio result file in Generating HTML reports from TRX using XSLT. But what if you want your html report to show test results from different testers in your team or you just want to overwrite the existing results with the latest? Without a TFS, this remains a challenge.
