Better HTML output for System Testing Report

[Pierre Equoy]

Plainbox 0.20 introduces the concept of certification blocker tests.

When a testing session ends, Plainbox generates an HTML document with the results. Starting with v0.20, the HTML output contains a "Certification Status" column in the "Tests Performed" section as well as a "Certification Blockers" section.

Two requests:

1. Move the "Certification Status" column next to the "Result" column, so it's easier to identify blocker issues that have failed. (see screenshot attached)
2. In the new "Certification Blockers" section, separate the tests by results:
    - Failed
    - Skipped
This way, it will be very easy to identify the failed cert-blockers.

I guess it's just an XSL change away, in this file:
checkbox/plainbox/plainbox/data/report/checkbox.xsl

Hi Pierre

Both requests make sense. If you want to do that with the current
stack then go for it. Otherwise I'd like to wait until we have the
jinja2 based reports. Hacking on xslt is pretty frustrating and time
consuming.

Best regards

It think the first request makes sense, the second one will be hard to implement in the current format.

@Zygmunt: Jinja2!!! \o/

@Sylvain: If you want I can make a few tests tomorrow/next week and provide a branch for it.

Just a question: how do you test the Plainbox export feature if you already have an XML file available?

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

Only 1. is done in the linked MR. 2. is nice to have but not critical. It will be provided by new versions of the html report (Jquery based)

Tested point 1 successfully.

As noted by Sylvain, point 2 can be achieved at a later date with the new template feature, so it's been dismissed.
