Requirements based Report question

[devonk]

TestLink 1.9.12 GaGa and the twins + MySQL

1. Generate "Requirements based Report"
2. Click on "Text execution" for any testcase in the list
3. Make sure you're in the "Show latest execution" view of the popup
4. You see "Latest execution (any build)" and "Latest execution (current build)"

What is the difference between current and any build? I can't find any reference in the TestLink manual.
It looks like the report uses the "current build" result, how/where is "current build" defined? I noticed a lot of my TCs have different build numbers for this field.

Thanks in advance!

In execution feature current is the build you have selected on settings on left side of screen where the tree is displayed.
Any build (that may be need to be explained better) means that TestLink analise ALL DEFINED builds and look for LATEST execution.

You're talking about the 'assign test execution' section which is not what my issue is about unfortunately.

Is there a way to have the "Requirements based Report" use the test results of "any build" instead of the "current build" that was assigned in the execution feature?
For me it is a bit weird that you have a "current build" in the report but when you click on generate report you have no option to select a build number. To me it is unclear where the "Requirements based Report" is choosing the "current build" to use for testcases linked to the requirements.


We use a Jenkins job that creates a new build in TestLink every time a subversion commit happened so the "Requirements based Report" is not up to date with the latest results if it does not use the latest created build in TestLink.

I noticed that indeed in the Test Execution section the current build is set to whatever build is selected on the left, however this is not the case in the requirement based report. I have no idea based on what criterium the "current build" value is selected nor where I can change this. Any ideas?

We can't use the "requirement based report" reliably as the PASS/FAIL results are based on the 'current build' value which you cannot edit in this view so the report is showing old, outdated test results. Really unfortunate as this is the whole reason why we started using TestLink.

I just checked the 1.9.13 changelog and noticed:
6834: [Reports - Req. Based Report] Req. Based Report - add possibility to filter on specific BUILD

I guess this is what you were talking about? Guess I'll have to upgrade my 1.9.12, I'll let you know if it works then

OK, upgrading to 1.9.13 resolves my issues. Thanks ^^

great
hope this will be useful for other people to understand than when you are not using LATEST release, probably you will ask for things already available.
