Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. This guide is intended for test managers.
Evaluating results in web analytic reports
After the test run, evaluate the results in the web analytic reports. Web analytics collect data using new technologies thereby providing better user experience.
Comparing results from various regions or agent locations
When you run a schedule that includes agents from different regions, use the Web Analytic reports to compare the performance data from these regions.

Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. This guide is intended for test managers.
- Evaluating results in web analytic reports
  After the test run, evaluate the results in the web analytic reports. Web analytics collect data using new technologies thereby providing better user experience.
  - Comparing results among runs
    To analyze the difference between two or more reports, you can compare them. For example, to analyze the performance of the application at different time slots or different milestone builds, you can compare two runs.
  - Comparing schedule stages
    When you are running a schedule, in this context, is used to refer to both VU Schedule and Rate Schedule that contains stages, time ranges are automatically created for each stage. You can view a report that compares these stages, and you also can set preferences to display the report automatically at the end of a staged run.
  - Comparing results from various regions or agent locations
    When you run a schedule that includes agents from different regions, use the Web Analytic reports to compare the performance data from these regions.
  - Generating functional test reports
    You can generate functional test reports of your tests, which summarize the pass or fail verdicts of elements in the test log. Functional reports are generated from the test run as HTML files that use predefined report designs.
  - Publishing test results to the server
    The test results indicates the quality of application under test. Different stakeholders to the application might want to check the quality of application but do not have the workbench or desktop client installed. As a desktop client user, you can publish the test result to HCL OneTest™ Server so that others can view it from the web browser.
  - Customizing reports
    You can customize reports to specifically investigate a performance problem in more detail than what is provided in the default reports.
  - Export test results
    You can export the test result in different formats to share it with different stakeholders.
  - Viewing response time breakdown
    You can do detailed analysis of the response time to find bottlenecks in the HTTP traffic of the application.
- Logs overview
  HCL OneTest™ Performance uses logs to store different types of information, which you can use to determine the reason for a test failure.
- Reports and counters
  See the description of the counters for all of the performance reports.

Comparing results from various regions or agent locations

When you run a schedule that includes agents from different regions, use the Web Analytic reports to compare the performance data from these regions.

Before you begin

Run a schedule with on premise agents on different geographic regions. See Running schedules.

About this task

When comparing agents, open the Location asset and in the General Properties tab, add an RPT_GEO property with any value. This value is then displayed in the All Geos menu of the report.

Procedure

To compare performance data:

From the Test Navigator view, open the schedule run that includes remote agents. The name of the run corresponds with the name of the schedule and has a timestamp.
On the report toolbar, click All Geos.
Select the regions that you want to compare and click Compare.

Note: When you compare data from various regions, you cannot compare stages in a run at the same time.
The report shows the data in the compare mode.
