Test executive system having XML reporting capabilities

Abstract

A system and method for enabling Extensible Markup Language (XML) reporting for a test executive sequence. The test executive sequence may comprise a plurality of test executive steps operable to perform tests on a unit under test (UUT). In executing the test executive sequence, the test executive software may generate various test results, such as Boolean pass/fail results for various steps in the sequence, numeric limit values computed by various steps, etc. The test executive software may generate one or more XML files specifying the test results, i.e., the results of the execution of the test executive sequence may be represented in XML. An XSL stylesheet may then be used to transform and view the XML test results.
