What is a Test Report?

Each HTML test report is generated directly from the QC Suite Functional Testing Station and includes numerous embedded graphical images. If your browser does not support Portable Network Graphics then these images will not appear. The test reports are uniquely detailed and typically extend beyond that offered by the manufacturers themselves. This data may not be used or reproduced in any form by any other publications or their freelance writers who lack this investigative facility.
