# How can I generate ATs in my templated documents?

ATs in Ketryx are elements that are created when automated tests are reported directly against design items (e.g. RQ or SW), as opposed to Test Cases (in which case they would appear as TEs in Ketryx).

ATs can't be called through KQL since they aren't technically considered to be items. We can get them in a template by using the {$TRACE} functionality to grab AT elements from the trace matrix.

Example below:

{$TRACE rtm}

{#rtm.groupedRows}

{#columns.verificationTest.testStatuses}

{title}:{result}

{/}{/}
