Introduction
Importing test results enables each developer or tester to review his or her assigned tasks in the GUI and respond to them in the Quality Tasks view. If you cannot choose a filter from the filter configuration drop-down menu, verify that you have appropriate access in DTP (see "Project Creation and Configuration" in the DTP documentation for additional information).
...
You can import a specific category of tasks, tasks for specific goals, or all tasks. You can only import results for projects that are currently in your workbench. If the tested project files were modified in your workbench since the test was run, the results will not be reported because they might not correspond to your modified version of the project files.
Configuring DTP Filter
The filter must be configured in order to download findings from DTP (see Connecting to Parasoft Development Testing Platform).
- Choose Parasoft> Preferences to open the settings page.
- Choose Parasoft> Development Testing Platform> Import Settings.
- Choose a filter from the drop-down menu and configure any additional import settings. See the Development Testing Platform documentation for information about filter configuration options.
- Click Apply.
Configuring the Quality Tasks View
Prior to importing data from DTP, you should configure the Quality Tasks preferences so that only the test and analysis results relevant to you are imported. In the preferences panel, choose Parasoft> Preferences> Quality Tasks.

Importing Results From Team Server into the GUI
Any team member whose SOAtest installation is connected to Team Server will be able to import the test results stored on Team Server. When results are imported, test results are shown in the GUI as if the test were run in the GUI. After the import, you can drill down into results in the normal manner, double-click task messages to open and edit the related line of source code, use any applicable "Quick Fixes" to correct reported problems, and so forth.

By default, SOAtest is configured to import tasks from tests performed within the past 2 days. If your team doesn’t run tests frequently and you try to import tasks more than 2 days after the test has run, nothing will be imported—unless you change the default settings. To change the default test import settings:

Importing Your Recommended Tasks
To import your recommended tasks from Team Server:
...
- The severity of the issues reported (more severe violations are given priority).
- The time when the file was modified (more recent modifications are given priority because they will be fresh in the developer’s mind).
- Whether there are other issues reported for the same file (files with multiple violations are given priority because the developer will need to perform less testing this way — if you made 8 total corrections within 2 files, you would have to test only 2 files, but if you made 8 total corrections within 8 different file, you would have to test 8 files).

Accessing Team Server Reports through a Web Browser
Any team member who can access the Team Server’s Web server can directly browse to the report files that are available on Team Server. This allows team members to access reports outside of the GUI. Moreover, in the reports available on Team Server, all links (for instance, links to Category) are active. All links are not active in emailed reports.
