Generating Test Plan Execution Reports

Generate execution reports from Test Plans with results, assignees, comments, and multi-configuration data

Updated yesterday

TestCollab lets you generate detailed execution reports directly from your Test Plans. These reports capture test results, assignees, and tester comments across configurations — ideal for sign-off documentation, stakeholder reviews, or compliance records.

Generating a report from a Test Plan

To generate an execution report, open your Test Plan, switch to 'Test cases' tab and click the export button. The report will include all test cases within the plan along with their execution data.

What's included in the report

Test Plan execution reports include everything from a standard test case report, plus:

  • Execution result — Pass, Fail, Skip, Block, Unexecuted, or a custom status set for each test case

  • Assignee — the team member assigned to execute each test case

  • Execution comments — notes and observations added by testers during execution

  • Multi-configuration data — results across all configurations (e.g., browsers, environments, platforms) in your test plan

Report options

When generating the report, you can customize what's included:

  • Configurations — if your test plan has configurations, you can choose to include data for all configurations or only the currently selected one

  • Execution comments — toggle on to include comments added during test execution

  • Column selection — choose between visible columns only or all columns (including custom fields)

  • HTML tags — keep formatting in steps and descriptions, or export as plain text

We recommend keeping the "Display HTML tags in steps and description" option selected to preserve formatted text and images in the report.

Understanding the CSV report format

The generated CSV file opens directly in Excel or any spreadsheet application. The report contains:

  • One row per test case step (the first step shares a row with the test case metadata)

  • Columns for each configuration showing the execution result

  • Assignee and comment columns when those options are selected

Tip: Use "Export all columns" to include all data fields including custom fields in your report.

Looking for test case reports without execution data?

If you need a report of your test case library (without execution results), see Generating Test Case Reports.

Note:

  • Only users with the appropriate permissions can generate execution reports

  • The maximum number of test cases that can be exported in a single PDF is 500
