How to generate comprehensive review reports

[L. Schimmel]

Hello everyone,

at the moment I am working on installing a productive crucible Server in my company. One thing that was requested in every meeting about crucible was better reports. So I already know, that there would be a possibilty by using the rest-API. Is there a instruction how to use the API for the analysis of the reviews?

I have never worked with API before. What general information do I need to explain a coworker that is capable, what I need?

Is there a way to dump the Crucible Review findings in Excel to generate a report that way?

Best regards

You can find the official documentation here. It has everything you need

Creating complete reports is actually quite involved, so I have published a plugin to the Atlassian Marketplace which provides branch & time based reports of code review coverage, and includes the ability to download an Excel version of the report

Please ignore any compatibility errors you may receive, this is a known bug with Crucible, and the plugin works correctly with newer versions of Crucible.

Thanks for your reply. I did not know about the addon yet, but will try it right now. This may very well be the solution for my problem. Thanks again and best regards
