The test suite architect (not testers) can provide plug-in code to add to the available report types. The custom report API provides access to the entire set of results, including all test output and the current environment (configuration). All this can be used to generate or execute whatever the architect needs. GUI panels can also be provided so that the tester can configure the options for that report type in the Create Report dialog box. Access to the custom report generation functionality is also available from the command line. See com.sun.javatest.exec.ContextManager and com.sun.javatest.report.CustomReport in the API documentation. Please ask questions in the JT Harness forum if you need more information.
