Dashboard for reporting metrics.
=>Business Process Testing is a new feature that has been
incorporated in QC 9.0. This would have additional charges
when purchasing the package.

is also an important module.

Hi All, Im currently getting to grips with the Document Generator in Test Director and have a query. We use TD to link requirements to test cases and I am attempting to produce a report which lists the requirement and the test case it is linked to. I cant see a way to do this as the test case link info resides on the Coverage page and it appears the only field available to display for requirements reports within document generator as those on the 'details' tab. Any tips?
