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.
Results for tests in UI Test perspective
In this section, you will learn how to analyze test results in the Web UI Test perspective.
Customizing reports
You can customize reports to specifically investigate a performance problem in more detail than what is provided in the default reports.
Viewing trending reports
To view the trend of response time for an application over a period of time, open the trend report for a run. In addition to the response time, you can view the trend for the loops, transactions, and performance requirements for the application.

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.
    - Creating custom reports
      If the default reports do not address your needs, you can create your own reports.
    - Viewing trending reports
      To view the trend of response time for an application over a period of time, open the trend report for a run. In addition to the response time, you can view the trend for the loops, transactions, and performance requirements for the application.
    - Filtering data in test results
      You can filter the data in a test result that is displayed in a report so that you can remove the unnecessary data and focus on the data that is significant for the analysis.
    - Customizing the appearance of graphs in a report
      To display the data in a table, bar chart, or line chart in a manner that caters to your test requirements, use the controls that are available in the View Options of a report.
    - Changing the report displayed during a run
      Use this page to select the default report that opens during a run. Typically, you select Determine default report based on protocols in test, which determines the protocols that you are testing and automatically opens the appropriate protocol-specific reports.
    - Modifying counters in a graph
      To gather additional information for diagnosing performance problems, you can modify the counters that are displayed in a graph.
    - Correcting time offset
      Response time breakdown and resource monitoring data is time stamped using the system clock of the host computer. If there are differences between the system clocks of the host computers that you include in a test, then response time breakdown and resource monitoring data are skewed in reports. The best practice is to synchronize the system clocks on all computers that you include in a test. When this is not possible, you can correct the time offset of each host computer after a test run. Typically, correct the time offset on all computers to match the system clock of the workbench computer.
  - Export test results
    You can export the test result in different formats to share it with different stakeholders.
  - 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.

Viewing trending reports

To view the trend of response time for an application over a period of time, open the trend report for a run. In addition to the response time, you can view the trend for the loops, transactions, and performance requirements for the application.

About this task

The trend report can help you determine the response times of the application at different milestones. For instance, you can run the performance test for sprint or milestone builds and tag them. When generating the trend report, you can specify conditions such as results that are less than 60 days old and include 'milestone' tag. Execution Results Filters

Execution Results Filters

You cannot save a trend report. So, if you close the report, you have to generate it again.

Procedure

To view the trend report:

In the Test Navigator view, select the run for which to open the trend report.
Right-click the run and click View Trend Report.
To view the trend that is based on certain criteria, in Filter, select a filter criteria.
If there is no customized filtering criteria, create one by clicking Manage and then Add.
To save the criteria, click Save, specify a name to the filter, and click OK.
The results in the execution results table are filtered out according to the specified criteria.
Click OK.
The trend report is generated.
