Testing BO Reports

Hi Guys

I am confused, I have been asked by my PM to write some test cases for some BO reports :?

In the past what I have done is adhered to the pre-defined standards and guidelines while developing BO universes and report, and for reports tested the figures reported by BO vis-a-vis the figures returned by the database thru’ a separate SQL, so I am perplexed as to what test cases should I write.

So can someone please provide me with a list of test cases that one has written for BO reports, any help in this regard will be highly appreciated which I can use as a starting point.

Thanks & Regards
Sandy

And this is somehow not sufficient? I’m not sure what else you could do. We use our requirements documents, which include a report prototype as well as describing the source / calculation for each item on the report. Essentially we view that prototype as a “cell” of a spreadsheet, and consider each “cell” a test. The test itself is simple … does it reflect the right value.

We’ve also used the reports to validate our business rules. Separate reports to validate the rules…then the true reports to make sure that those calculations come through correctly in the final reports.
