RapidRep uses the full flexibility of Microsoft Excel in order to visualize both test case layout and test case results.

• Every report definition has to reference an Excel workbook. This workbook serves as template and defines the test case layout. Full flexibility of Excel is maintained and customers may design their templates individually.
• The result of the test case execution (triggered either within RapidRep Runner or alternatively via RapidRep Batch API) is a workbook based on the template stored in the underlying Reportdefinition. The workbook is saved in the RapidRep repository.
• The logic applied to analyze the test case results can make use of Excel formulas and VBA code, stored in the Excel workbook template.
• If an external test management system is used then the resulting Excel Workbook is transferred as attachment to the external system.

The populated Excel workbook contains all information (independent of RapidRep) that are needed by the specialist department in order to discuss testing results and all details for business analysts in order to identify and process errors.
