How to test this?

[sravs7]

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to test a report which is a PDF. There is some static and dynamic text in that report. The static text depends on employee data for ex. name and his stats etc is dynamic where rest of the text is static.

There are almost 16 pages of report out of which 10-30 words will be dynamic (these willbe fetched from database).

Can you please suggest how to test this and also the best tool to automate this?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have anything so far to test?

also the best tool to automate this?

As this is a really open question, what tools have you got to work with?

Thanks for the reply. We just have the sample report. Developers are still working on the data model. AS of now, we have decided to use the parasoft tool to test the web services. But to pull the actual report from the portal and search if the dynamic data is populated correctly in the report, we are looking at options so that it can be done quicker. May be a script to automate this?
