HTML Reports
HTML Reports are web-based documents generated programmatically to present data, analysis results, or system status in a structured, human-readable format using HTML, CSS, and often JavaScript. They are commonly used in software development for logging, testing outputs, performance metrics, and business intelligence dashboards. These reports leverage the ubiquity of web browsers to provide interactive, accessible, and visually appealing summaries of complex information.
Developers should use HTML Reports when they need to create shareable, platform-independent documentation of data analysis, test results, or system monitoring, such as in CI/CD pipelines for test coverage reports, data science projects for visualization, or operations for server health dashboards. They are ideal for scenarios requiring easy distribution via web servers or email, interactive elements like filters and charts, and integration with existing web technologies without specialized viewer software.
