You can create a report that
compares different nodes or time ranges within a single run. You can
also create a report that compares the results of different runs.
About this task
To quickly create a report that compares the results of different
runs, select the runs in the Test Navigator, right-click, and then
select
Compare.
Procedure
To create a more complex comparison, such as comparing
results from nodes or time ranges, first select the base run, and
then select the runs to compare with the base run:
- In the Test Navigator, right-click the run to serve as
the basis for comparison, and click Compare.
- In the Compare results window, click Add. This adds another run to compare with the base run.
- In the Add New Run to Compare window,
do the following:
- Expand the Select Run tree and locate the run to add
to the report.
- Select a location to compare. The All Hosts location
combines the results from all locations. The other locations that
are listed are the remote locations where the user groups ran.
- Select a time range to compare. Default Time
Range, which is always available, compares the results
from the beginning to the end of the run. However, if you have defined
time ranges in the run, they are listed as well.
- Click OK.
- Optional: Click Add to
add another run, and repeat the previous steps. Use the Up and Down buttons
to reorder the results, and Remove to remove
the results from the report.
- Select the Automatically abbreviate run names
in report to improve readability. The report
abbreviates the run names but contains a legend that fully identifies
each run.
- Click Finish to create a report
in the default report format for the protocol, which is sufficient
for most purposes.
- Optional: Click Next to
create a report in another report format.
