how to test reports in businessobjects?

Answer Posted / shivakumar auradi

Well testing a Reports,
what all above said are partially correct.

follow the below steps for successful report testing:

1: Identify the Database table Names.
2: Identify the Join condition for which data is coming.
3: write the SQL code for the particular Report.
4: Count the Report data and SQL data ( i.e. Count rows )
5: If count matches reduce the report size by filtering it
through Excel.( generate excel sheet for the reports and
filter according to unique value or country wise etc.)
6: If you are familier with Automation tool use the tool to
compare 2 excel sheets.
7: if not download excel comparision softwares and compare
it.
8: I know comparing around 8000 or 9000 records are not
possible. so use excel comparison tool.
below is the QTP code for excel comparison. use this to
compare 2 reports each cell value.
////QTP code for Excel Comparison.

Set objExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
objExcel.Visible = True
Set objWorkbook1= objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:Documents
andSettingsmohan.kakarlaDesktopDocs1.xls”)
Set objWorkbook2= objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:Documents and

Settingsmohan.kakarlaDesktopDocs2.xls”)

Set objWorksheet1= objWorkbook1.Worksheets(1)

Set objWorksheet2= objWorkbook2.Worksheets(1)

For Each cell In objWorksheet1.UsedRange
If cell.Value <> objWorksheet2.Range
(cell.Address).Value Then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3&#8242;Highlights in red
color if any changes in cells
Else
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 0

I have 2 doubts regarding the "Input Control" functionality in BI4: 1) Can the Input Controls in BI4 be manipulated? I mean, can we change the IC display as BOLD or change the values from Italics to regular? Or change the colors? 2) How to get hierarchy type control in IC? Let's say my first IC is for Country and second is for State. If I select a particulat country from Ist IC,second one should show me states belonging to selected country. Is that possible? Thanks in advance!!!
