There are so many different ways to pull the data from QC for reports.
1) You can create a small program using the C#.Net
2) You can use the third party tool like
Reliable Business Reporting, Inc.(http://www.rbreporting.com/)
3) You can write a small macro to generate your report in EXCEL using VB script.
Here is the questions :
How to pull a report from the Test Lab describing a high level execution to show Test Folders and their Status?
Ans: You may wish to create a macro to pull the metrics out. I prefer this over the excel report generator.
Here is some VBA to pull out test set metrics. Just change the connection string with your details...
Dim tdc As TDConnection
Sub UpdateStats()
'create QC connection
QCconnect_silent "URL", "DOMAIN", "PROJECT", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD"
'process tests
getMetrics
'disconnect
QCdisconnect
End Sub
Private Sub QCconnect_silent(url As String, domain As String, project As String, user As String, pass As String)
'# Creates a connection to QC
On Error GoTo connected
'create the connection object
Set tdc = CreateObject("TDApiOle80.TDConnection")
tdc.InitConnectionEx url
'login to QC
tdc.Login user, pass
'connect to project
tdc.Connect domain, project
Application.StatusBar = "Connected to Quality Centre...."
Exit Sub
connected:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub QCdisconnect()
'# disconnect from QC and release connection
'check if connection exists
If (tdc Is Nothing = False) Then
'disconnect, logout and release connection
tdc.Disconnect
tdc.Logout
tdc.ReleaseConnection
Application.StatusBar = "Disconnnected from Quality Centre...."
End If
End Sub
Private Sub getMetrics()

Note: its vba so needs to go in a macro, this is written for excel. You can either:
Open excel, add the dev bar which gives a link to the vba editor. Paste in there, change the connection string, save then run.
Or...You can open excel, click to create a new macro, stop recording then edit and paste the code in.
