Configure settings for analyzing load test results

The following sections describe how to configure certain Analysis settings that significantly impact the way in which Analysis analyzes load test results.

Configure how Analysis processes result data

You define how Analysis processes result data from load test scenarios in the Tools > Options > Result Collection tab. For example, you can configure how Analysis aggregates result data, to what extent the data is processed, and whether output messages are copied from the Controller. For details, see the Options dialog box.

Summary data versus complete data

In large load test scenarios, with results exceeding 100 MB, it can take a long time for Analysis to process the data. When you configure how Analysis generates result data from load test scenarios, you can choose to generate complete data or summary data.

Complete data refers to the result data after it has been processed for use within Analysis.
Summary data refers to the raw, unprocessed data. The summary graphs contain general information such as transaction names and times. Some fields are not available for filtering when you work with summary graphs.

Note that some graphs are not available when only viewing the summary data.

Set up templates

Templates let you define the structure and content for your reports. For example, you can automatically generate an HTML report or add analytics for the top problematic transactions. For details, see Apply/Edit Template dialog box.

Configure analysis of transactions

You can configure how transactions are analyzed and displayed in the Summary report, To configure these options, you customize settings in the Summary Report area of the Options dialog box's General tab. For details, see the Analyze Transaction Settings dialog box.
