Syntax

generateDOCXReport(results)
generateDOCXReport(results,fileName)
generateDOCXReport(___,PageOrientation=orientation)

Description

example

generateDOCXReport(results) generates a test report from the test results in DOCX format and saves it to a temporary folder.

Use this method to generate a DOCX test report once the test run is complete and the test results are available.

generateDOCXReport(results,fileName) saves the report using the specified file name.

example

generateDOCXReport(___,PageOrientation=orientation) generates a report in the specified orientation. You can specify the orientation as the last argument in any of the previous syntaxes. For example, generateDOCXReport(results,PageOrientation="landscape") generates a test report in landscape orientation.

Input Arguments

expand all

Results of running a test suite, specified as a matlab.unittest.TestResult array.

Name of the test report file, specified as a string scalar or character vector ending in .docx. The fileName argument can include a relative path, but the relative path must be in the current folder. Otherwise, fileName must include a full path.

Example: "myTestReport.docx"

Example: "C:\work\myTestReport.docx"

Report orientation, specified as "portrait" or "landscape". By default, the method generates a report in portrait orientation.

Open Script

Run a suite of tests and then generate a DOCX test report from the test results.

Create a function-based test sampleTest.m in your current folder. The file contains two tests that pass and one test that fails.

function tests = sampleTest
tests = functiontests(localfunctions);
end

function testA(testCase)      % Test passes
verifyEqual(testCase,2+3,5)
end

function testB(testCase)      % Test fails
verifyGreaterThan(testCase,13,42)
end

function testC(testCase)      % Test passes
verifySubstring(testCase,"Hello World!","llo")
end

Run the tests in sampleTest.m.

results = runtests("sampleTest");

Limitations

  • A test report generated by the generateDOCXReport method does not include the text output from the Command Window.

Tips

  • When you generate a test report from test results that are created by a default runner, the report includes diagnostics for failing events and messages logged at the matlab.automation.Verbosity.Terse level. To generate a test report that includes diagnostics for passing events or messages logged at different verbosity levels, first customize your test run by adding a DiagnosticsRecordingPlugin instance to the runner. For example, run your tests and generate a test report that includes passing diagnostics and messages logged at all verbosity levels.

    import matlab.unittest.plugins.DiagnosticsRecordingPlugin
import matlab.automation.Verbosity
suite = testsuite("sampleTest");
runner = testrunner("minimal");
runner.addPlugin(DiagnosticsRecordingPlugin( ...
    IncludingPassingDiagnostics=true,LoggingLevel=Verbosity.Verbose))
results = run(runner,suite);
generateDOCXReport(results)

  • To generate a test report without explicitly collecting the test results, customize your test run by adding a TestReportPlugin instance to the test runner.
