I am new with this framework. Please correct me if i am not reaching the right channel.

Using ExtentReports-Java for custom test reporting in a project. current project structure includes:

  • Java package named after the Jira ID
  • Package(s) containing TestRail IDs for each test case
  • Java classes named after the TestRail test case IDs

The test-output folder currently contains:

  • icons folder
  • img folder
  • Individual TestReport.html file. 1 file per test case.

is ideal that we want to consolidate each test case report into a single HTML report using the ExtentReports framework.

Questions and Possible Solutions

  1. Is it possible to merge multiple ExtentReports into a single report?
    Possible ideas/solutions to Be Confirmed by the community

    • Use ExtentReports' mergeAll() method to combine reports
    • Implement a custom report merger using ExtentReports' APIs
    • Create a parent report and add child reports for each test case

  2. How can we maintain the structure and hierarchy of our test cases in a consolidated report?
    Possible ideas/solutions to Be Confirmed by the community

    • Use ExtentReports' test node hierarchy to represent the Jira ID, TestRail ID, and test case structure
    • Implement custom categorization using ExtentReports' tagging system
    • Create a custom report template that preserves the desired structure

  3. What's the best way to handle test artifacts (screenshots, logs) in a consolidated report?
    Possible ideas/solutions to Be Confirmed by the community

    • Use ExtentReports' attachment features to include artifacts in the consolidated report
    • Implement a custom artifact management system that links to the consolidated report
    • Create a separate artifacts page with links from the main consolidated report

  4. How can we ensure that the consolidated report is performant and easily navigable?
    Possible ideas/solutions to Be Confirmed by the community

    • Implement pagination or lazy loading for large numbers of test cases
    • Use ExtentReports' filtering and search capabilities
    • Create a custom navigation system using JavaScript and ExtentReports' APIs

I would highly appreciate any guidance or alternatives to achieve this consolidation using the ExtentReports framework.

Thank you for your help community!
ps. I am super keen to contribute to the project.
