It is important that the analysis of test failure conditions be quick and efficient to determine if the test needs to be modified or if there is a regression condition in the software.
This is crucial to further reduce the load of automated testing on the maintenance site.
The ATSV video functionality is provided by ATS natively: it is open source. You will be able to exchange reports with your partners even if they do not have access to Agilitest.
How to generate a video report in Agilitest?
There are several ways to produce a video report directly in Agilitest.
From the channels management menu
The channel management menu is accessible on the left side of the Agilitest editor, below the project explorer, and allows you to request the generation of a report during an execution.

By double clicking on the generated ATSV file, the video report is read in the viewer provided with Agilitest.

From the executions management menu
In the execution control panel you can request the generation of Video Reports.

This will open the run management and suite compilation page.

Then, click on the suite settings button.

Click on the case “Enable reports”

Then select the quality level of the video report which implies the level of detail more or less high

It is important to configure this correctly as it may affect the execution time or size of video reports when replaying continuous integration tests.
Finally, click on “Generate reports” in the execution line of the project’s builder.

The ATSV format has been optimized to take up little space and be generated quickly, but be aware that the configuration of the videos in the runs is for all tests that will be replayed and can produce a large amount of reports.
How to play an ATSV video without Agilitest?
An ATSV player written in HTML5 / Javascript is provided free of charge and can be integrated directly into your continuous integration environments, or even launched from the command line.
The HTML5 ATSV player is activated to read the reports.
