XStudio 2.0: What about filtering and sorting?

Yes, what about filtering?

It's nice to have metrics (and XStudio provides a lot of them) but it's even better to extract some data under specific focus. And nothing's best than filtering and sorting to dig through large list of items.

Hence XStudio 2.0 includes a new simple but very effective/powerful filtering/sorting mechanism.

Here is how it looks like for instance when you select a SUT and get all the latest results obtained on this SUT (test and test case levels):

On tests, you can filter items based on ANY columns.
This includes the optional columns that you may add to the grid:

At test case level, you're able to add columns corresponding to the custom fields you defined.

Of course you can also sort (ascending or descending) the items by just clicking on the header of a column. Of course, the sorting applies on the filtered output.

Note: the filtering on string uses the very powerful Regular Expression syntax. This allows defining some very complex searches but also simple ones using some basic syntax such as:

XStudio 2.0: Comparison of campaign results can make a difference

Getting the results from many test campaigns is good but what would make a real difference would be the ability to compare those results in regards to the context in which they were obtained. And this to maybe deduce some interesting facts. In particular, what makes some tests failing...

Is it...

1) the agent/computer type on which the tests have been executed? If you execute the same campaign on a computer under Windows XP, another one on Windows 7 and another one on Linux or MacOSX and you see that all the campaigns executed on MacOSX have much more failure it probably means something right?

2) the operator who performed the tests? people may interpret the test script differently and this may affect seriously the results.

3) the configuration/environment in which the tests have been performed?

XStudio 2.0 will provide a very convenient way to compare results obtained based on those criteria through a very simple reporting interface:

XStudio 2.0: Small details count too: flattened progress bars

One small details one may notice in XStudio 2.0 (to be released soon) is that progress bar are flattened. This is just a small detail... but it makes reporting much cleaner (especially on Windows XP):

For those using Windows 8, you'll probably notice not much as this look'n feel is pretty much the same as Windows 8's style.
