TestStand File Diff and Merge Utility has the ability to produce reports in XML format with a slew of dependencies on TestStand (stylesheets, button images, etc.) making them not very portable. Yes, I know they can be packaged with the extra utility, but that's a hassle too. Now instead of managing a file I have to manage a folder of files.
Additionally, these reports only seem to work with Internet Explorer which I'm hearing is going away. Not sure if it's just me, but Edge's IE mode doesn't seem to work for these reports either.
Can NI do something to address this?
- Make a browser extension that works with at least chromium based browsers.
- Figure out a nice PDF format.
Ideally, I want to upload the file type into my code review platform of choice (git, perforce swarm, crucible, network folder share, etc.) and not require my reviewer to have TestStand installed on their machine.
