XStudio 1.0: Support of custom HTML reports

The feature allowing the users to develop their own reports is complete.

The idea is pretty simple: default reports are generated using XLST transforms applied to a raw XML document. The user can now simply develop his own XSLT and copy it into the export/xsl folder (either locally if using only standalone installs or on the Apache/Tomcat server to share this report with everybody connecting to this server).

The only constraint is to use a specific naming convention: <type>HTML_<name>.xslt
where:
  • <type> can be:
    • "requirement"
    • "specification"
    • "task"
    • "testplan"
    • "report"
    • "defect"

  • <name> can be any name including alphanumeric characters.
When generating a report, the user will be prompted with all XLST names that have been found for the corresponding type (i.e. if you're generating a testplan, the system will look at all the testplanHTML_*.xslt files and will populate the combo box will all the names found).
