Results for tests in UI Test perspective
In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Web UI Test perspective.
Export test results
You can export the test result in different formats to share it with different stakeholders.
Exporting report metadata
To share report metadata with another test workbench user, export the report definition. Use this option to share customized report formats with other users. The recipient imports the metadata with Eclipse's Import option and views the report from the Test Navigator or in the list of reports in the web report.

Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. Following topics cover how you can work with the test results.
- Publishing test results to the server
  The test results indicate the quality of the application under test. Different stakeholders might want to check the quality of the application but do not have the desktop client installed. As a desktop client user, you can publish test results to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server so that others can view them from the web browser.
- Publishing specific results to the server
  If you have a single test result or multiple test results that are not published to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you can publish a single or all of them simultaneously.
- Unified reports
  Unified reports in Rational® Functional Tester provide a detailed overview of the test results. Unified reports also provide an extensive user interface that you can use to analyze or apply filters on the test results.
- Results for tests in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Web UI Test perspective.
  - UI Test Statistical report
    You can use the UI Test Statistical report to view the performance data for your application. This report displays performance data for all of the transactions in the test, all of the steps in the test, and all of the supported computer resources.
  - Evaluating desktop Web UI results
    After the test run, Unified Report the statistical report, and test log is displayed. The statistical report displays response time data for transactions and test steps. The live report displays result for the functionality of each step and the test log shows details of each test step.
  - 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.
    - Creating an executive summary from the workbench
      To create a printable report that summarizes the findings of the performance test run on a single view, create an executive summary. You can export the data of the test run as an executive summary from a single report or from multiple reports such as Performance Report, Mobile and Web UI Statistical Report, Transaction Report, and Loop Report. You can then open the summary in a word-processing program to further format and annotate the data.
    - Creating an executive summary from the Web Analytics report
      To create a printable report that summarizes the findings of the performance test run on a single view, create an executive summary. You can choose to view the executive summary on a web browser or save it on a computer.
    - Exporting reports to HTML format
      When you export a test run and share it, people can analyze test data without using the test workbench. You can also email the test run or post it on a web server. The exported run can be displayed and printed from any browser. A test run contains multiple reports. You can choose to export any or all of the reports.
    - Exporting results to a CSV file
      To further analyze test results, you can export all statistics or specific statistics captured during a run to a CSV file.
    - Sharing URL of test run
      When you share the URL of the test run with other people, they can view and analyze the test results on a browser on their computer if the test workbench is running on your computer at that time.
    - Exporting report metadata
      To share report metadata with another test workbench user, export the report definition. Use this option to share customized report formats with other users. The recipient imports the metadata with Eclipse's Import option and views the report from the Test Navigator or in the list of reports in the web report.
  - Evaluating mobile test run results
    To check whether or not the mobile test ran successfully, you can open the test report. You can also view each recorded functional action in the report.
  - Logs overview
    HCL OneTest™ UI uses logs to store different types of information, which you can use to determine the reason for a test failure.
- Results for tests in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Functional Test perspective.

Exporting report metadata

To share report metadata with another test workbench user, export the report definition. Use this option to share customized report formats with other users. The recipient imports the metadata with Eclipse's Import option and views the report from the Test Navigator or in the list of reports in the web report.

Procedure

To export report metadata:

Click File > Export.
In the Export window, expand the Test folder, select Report Definitions, and click Next.
In Save to File, select the file that will contain the report. This file is created if it does not exist.
In Select Report, select the report to export, and then click Finish.
The file is saved in the .report format.

What to do next

To apply another report definition to your reports, import that report metadata by clicking File > Import > Report Definition, and browse to the .report file.
