Use the Smart Reporting SDK and the External Test Information SDK to tag a test result with a specific failure reason. In code, you supply the reason through the TestResultFactory.createFailure(...) method, which accepts a failure message, the throwable, and the failure reason ID copied from the Failure reasons tab. If the ID does not match a defined reason, the SDK ignores it.
Parameters supported by the TestResultFactory method
-
Failure message: Text added to the test report
-
Throwable: The actual error/exception associated with the failure
-
Failure reason ID: A string that must match an ID defined in the UI (unmatched IDs are ignored)
Example (Java)
import com.perfectomobile.reporting.TestResult;
import com.perfectomobile.reporting.TestResultFactory;
// Create a failure and tag it with a predefined failure reason ID.
// Paste the failure reason ID after copying it from the Failure reasons tab.
TestResult testResult = TestResultFactory.createFailure("Test stop failure", e, "bEC3xAdMTz");
reportiumClient.testStop(testResult);

What’s next
-
Copy a failure reason ID and paste it into your code.
-
Filter and analyze tagged failures in Insights > Failures by category.
-
If you need a new label, add a custom failure reason and use its ID in your scripts.
