Reports
QANode generates execution PDF reports and consolidated reports by period, with export and email delivery options. PDF generation can happen automatically when the execution finishes or on demand when someone downloads it, depending on the active template.
Execution Reports
After each scenario or suite execution, QANode prepares report data with:
- Summary: Status, duration, execution date
- Details per Node: Individual status, logs, outputs, duration
- Screenshots: Screen captures (when configured in web nodes), with date/time when enabled in the template
- Errors: Details of the failures encountered
The report is available in the execution list and can be downloaded at any time. When the active template uses on-demand generation, the PDF is created only when someone clicks Download PDF. In that case, QANode shows preparation progress and starts the download automatically when the file is ready.
Consolidated Reports
Generate reports covering multiple executions over a period:
- In the side menu, click Reports
- Select the period (start and end date)
- (Optional) Filter by project
- Click Generate Report

Tips
- Configure the template before generating reports — especially logo, background image, and PDF generation mode
- Include screenshots for visual evidence — essential for audits
- Use project filter for focused reports
- Schedule deliveries — use scheduled suites + alarms for automatic reports
- Limit logs — reports with too many logs become lengthy; use 10-20 lines per node
