QMetry v8.6 introduces a brand new reporting module. In this guide we will run you through upgrading QMetry Test Management Reports in your environment. These steps are to be followed on your QMetry Reports server hosted on the linux machine.

Here are the steps

Step 2. Check the running containers using the following command

  • cd /opt
  • docker cp QMetryReport86xx.zip qmetry-reports:/opt
  • docker exec -it qmetry-report bash

Step 4. Unzip the new reports upgrade zip QMetryReport86xx.zip copied under docker's /opt directory and go to the unzipped folder.
