Reports - Graphical View

By default, the reports appear as graphs.

The following sample report contains three test cases:

• multi-tier-combo
• main_all_should_fail
• ejb3EJBTest

Because not all of the filter criteria boxes are selected, the report only shows test cases that have passed, failed, or aborted.

The following features are available in the graphical view:

• Mousing over a test case opens an information box that shows the test case name, the date of execution, and test execution details.

  

• Double-clicking a test case in the graph that passed produces a Cycles diagram for the test case.

  When you display the Cycles diagram in graphical view, you can select options from a Percentile drop-down to indicate the percentile value to display in the graphical form (a line across the diagram). The percentile value indicates the maximum number of milliseconds for which a specific percentage of step runs were completed. For example, if the 75th longest running cycle of Step A finished in 7.9 seconds, the 75th percentile would be 7900 or greater.

  

  When you move your mouse over these dots, you see that each dot represents a cycle of the test case, and the details for each cycle are shown: response time in milliseconds, the cycle/instance number, the date of the cycle, and the data used. A cycle represents a complete test case from beginning to end.

• Clicking the Information button at the upper left of the window gives you more information about the test case environment.

  

• To inspect a subset of cycles more closely, select a group of dots and zoom to see only that subset of cycles.
• To return to the complete cycle view, click the Reset button.
• Double-clicking a test case shows a view of each step of the case, with information about response times.

  

• Reports that are shown as line graphs can auto scale. The default setting for Current Scale is Auto Scale at 100. The number in () shows what Auto Scale has determined the scale value must be to fit all the data on the same 0-100 graph. The value * scale = y coordinate on the graph. If you modify the scale, the current value does not change. However, the calculation of determining the y coordinate used on the graph could yield a different y coordinate. If that is greater than 100, the Y-axis limit also must grow to accommodate the larger values.

Reports - Reporting Menu

When you right-click a test case or suite, the following options are available. To view examples of the reports, see Reports - Graphical View Examples.
