You could write a script to call the module that does the data gathering to get a raw feed. Then with that data, run your own formatting script to act as an oracle, to verify that the data is formatted properly (sorting, filtering, text layout.)You could write a query that gathers the data directly from the database to act as an oracle, to verify that the data is gathered properly. You could point the report at a different set of data, with all sorts of test scenarios in the data, to ensure it properly handles the data. Some examples might be null fields, type mismatches, duplicate rows, large number of rows, ASCII characters, etc. ------------------
