Checklist for testing Reports

Hi Readers,

Here I try to write some checklist for testing reports, hope this will help to someone somewhere sometime. :) When first time, my manager told me to test reports, I thought how to test report, what should I test in reports? I searched on internet but not able to find some details on it. Then I was perform normal testing on it and side by side make a checklist for it, what I was test. It was really helpful to me. Later on when I performed good, they told me to test multilingual reports ! you know simple reports were hard to test, I got multilingual reports for testing. It was tough but I try my best. So now a days whenever reports will come for test, I primary test according to this checklist.

Hope it will help you.
