Analyze test results

When you analyze the result of a test, you investigate how the application performed during the test through summaries, graphs, and detailed reports. This allows you to evaluate how robust the application is, while pinpointing performance bottlenecks that need to be resolved.

This quick start guide demonstrates how you can view test results and generate test reports.

Analyze test results

To analyze the result of a test, follow these steps: 

1. In the NeoLoad Controller, open your project. Click Results.

2. Under the Results section, select a previously performed test for each toolbar tab. To publish a report in PDF, Word, HTML, or XML, choose Tools > Generate report.

   

3. In the Test Summary tab, click in the test report table of contents to display the description of the tested components.

   

4. In the Values tab, select an application component to view its behavior during the test.

   

5. In the Graphs tab, select the graphs that you specifically need with drag-and-drops.

6. In the Errors tab, select a running error to display information about it.

7. In the Alerts tab, select a server or SLA alert to display a graph about it.

8. In the Logs tab, select a Monitoring Agent or a Load Generator to view its log.

9. In the Details tab, for a test in debug mode, you can either:

   • select Virtual Users as the type, choose a User Path, and double-click a container to display information about its behavior during the test.

   • select External Data as the type, and choose a specific item to display the external data injected during execution.

10. In the Values, Errors, and Alerts tab, you can select application and test components to display their definition in the Design section.
