Exporting custom reports using Groovy

Another option to create reports is to use a Groovy TestStep. Consider these situations:

• You need to include extra information that is not available via one of the standard reports, for example, by accessing test framework objects or other test data.
• You would like to produce a custom report format, for example, HTML or PDF.
• You would like to use the report later in TestCase; for example, use the Email TestStep (see the Sending e-mails with the Email TestStep plugin recipe of Chapter 10, Using Plugins) to e-mail the results somewhere.

In this recipe, we'll see how to extract test results from the SoapUI framework classes and export the data to a custom XML report file using Groovy.
