Overview

Confluence users can seamlessly integrate QMetry Reports into their Confluence pages using the QMetry Chart Macro. This powerful tool empowers users to visually represent and analyze data with ease, offering options to slice, dice, or export reports in formats like Bar, Pie, Line, or Tabular views. By incorporating the macro into a Confluence page, users can easily generate dynamic live reports that display testing metrics obtained from Saved Filters in QTM4J, providing rapid access to crucial test metrics.
