how to test reports after generating them in business objects

Are you new to Business Objects?

Testing query against the database
Data validation from prior reports from different systems (if applicable)
Query performance

There’s more - but you’ll need to give specifics - what database are you running against? Which version of BO? Are you converting from another system? etc.
