QMetry Charts Macro
Confluence users can integrate QMetry reports into their pages using the QMetry Chart macro. The macro enables users to visualize and analyze testing data with flexible display options, including Bar, Pie, Line, and Tabular views.
By adding the macro to a Confluence page, users can generate dynamic, live reports based on Saved Filters in QTM4J. This provides quick access to key testing metrics directly in Confluence.
