Create trend charts out of execution results

Tosca Commander allows you to generate graphical representations of test results. You can display the results of your ExecutionList folders, ExecutionLists, and RequirementSets as trend charts.

To enable trend charts, go to Project->Options->View and activate the Enable trend charts checkbox.

Tosca Commander adds a Trend chart tab to the Execution section for ExecutionList folders and ExecutionLists, and to the Requirements section for RequirementSets.

If you enable trend charts, you may encounter longer wait times.

The example below visualizes execution results in a StackedBar trend chart.

• The Y-axis indicates that you executed 6 TestCases.

• The X-axis displays the execution results in the specified time interval, in this case hourly.

• The tooltip contains summary information on the execution run at 14:00:00.

You can zoom in and out of trend charts by using the scroll wheel of your mouse.

Configure trend charts

You can configure your trend chart in the menu bar to the right of the chart:

Use the menu bar to perform the following actions:

• change the time interval

• change the chart type

• restore the default view of your chart by clicking Reset diagram

Change the time interval

To change the time interval, select the desired interval from the dropdown menu.

You can specify one of the following intervals:

Time interval	Display format
Hours	dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss
Days	dd.MM.yyyy
Weeks	<calendar week> (<year>)
Months	<name of the Month>
Years	<Year>

Change the chart type

By default, Tosca Commander visualizes execution results in a StackedBar chart.

To change the chart type, select the desired chart type from the dropdown menu.

If you choose a 3D chart type, you can rotate it by moving the mouse while keeping the left mouse button pressed. The tooltip feature is not available for 3D charts.
