Excel-based Test Reports (2)
Continuing the previous tip, I provide sample MS Word document template you may use for bug reporting. What does it have to do with Excel?
- You can use a single Excel document as a "one-stop-shop" container for the bug reports. And this is the idea of today's tip.
By following a simple one-time setup procedure you can embed the document template into your Excel report.
- Select the cell you want to contain the attached document(in the example that's an "Attached Documents" cell).
- In the Excel's Main Menu, select "Insert / Object".
- In the "Object" dialog, select "Create from File" tab.
- Keep "Link to File" option unchecked.
- Click "Browse", select the document in "Browse" dialog, and click "Insert".
- Click "OK" to embed the document.
Afterwards, you can create new copies of a template within the Excel report document as simple as "select template cell - Ctrl-C - select destination cell - Ctrl-V".
