This document discusses migrating test reports from Extent Reports version 3 to version 4. It provides code snippets for setting up Extent Reports version 4 to generate test reports, collect test results during test execution, and flush and rename the final report. Some key steps include initializing an ExtentSparkReporter and ExtentReports instance, creating test nodes, logging results to the report, and flushing and renaming the report on completion. Screenshots of the generated HTML report are also included.

Pre-requisites to Generate Extent Reports
1. Java should be installed and set up.
2. TestNG maven dependency should be available.
3. Extent Report Maven dependency should be available.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>
<artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>
<version>4.1.3</version>
</dependency>
Below is the code snippet before starting the suite,
public static ExtentSparkReporter sparkReporter;
public static ExtentReports extentReport;
String reportPath = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/AutomationReport/";
sparkReporter = new ExtentSparkReporter(reportPath);
sparkReporter.config().setDocumentTitle("Appium Automation");
sparkReporter.config().setReportName("Automation Execution Report");
sparkReporter.config().setTheme(com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.configuration.Theme.DARK);
extentReport = new ExtentReports();
extentReport.attachReporter(sparkReporter);
extentReport.setSystemInfo("Application Name", "ExtentReport");
extentReport.setSystemInfo("Platform", System.getProperty("os.name"));
extentReport.setSystemInfo("Environment", "QA");
Below is the code snippet to collect the test method name, prior to each test execution. This logic can be added
before method section,
String className = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
extentTest = extentReport.createTest(className + "-" + method.getName()); //method object of
Method class should be passed to get the method name.
Below is the code snippet to collect the test results after each test execution. Map those results into the HTML
report. You can use the below logic after method section,
public static ExtentTest extentTest;
String methodName = result.getName();
extentTest.createNode(methodName);
if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.FAILURE) {
extentTest.log(Status.FAIL, MarkupHelper.createLabel(methodName + " - Test Case Failed",

ExtentColor.RED));
extentTest.log(Status.FAIL,
MarkupHelper.createLabel(result.getThrowable() + " - Test Case Failed", ExtentColor.RED));
// Here you can add screenshot in the report for fail case
extentTest.fail(methodName + "Test Step Failed");
}
if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SKIP) {
extentTest.log(Status.SKIP,
MarkupHelper.createLabel(result.getName() + " - Test Case Skipped", ExtentColor.ORANGE));
extentTest.skip(methodName + "Test Step Skipped");
}
if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SUCCESS) {
extentTest.log(Status.PASS,
MarkupHelper.createLabel(result.getName() + " Test Case PASSED", ExtentColor.GREEN));
extentTest.pass(methodName + "Test Step Passed");
}
The below final code snippet helps to flush the object of the ExtentReports class and also rename the generated
file name with time-stamp. By default, the library will generate index.html file. After suite, you can rename the
HTML report along with flushing the object of the ExtentReports class.
extentReport.flush();
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy_HH-mm-ss");
Date date = new Date();
String filePathdate = dateFormat.format(date).toString();
String actualReportPath = reportPath + "index.html";
new File(actualReportPath).renameTo(new File(
System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/AutomationReport/" + "Automation_" + filePathdate + ".html"));
Below are the sample screenshots of the generated HTML report.

Conclusion
Migration of Extent Report version 4 will definitely be helpful as you obtain more detailed and customized
information on test automation executions. Try to migrate your Extent Report 3 versions to 4 series and feel the
difference.
