Run results

The Runs page provides test details, status, and run highlights for your load test.

Test run status

To access the Runs page, go to the Load tests tab, select a test, and click Runs Runs pane button in the sidebar. The Runs page displays a list of past runs with the status of the run.

The following table summarizes the possible values for the test status.

Status Description
Aborted You stopped the test during the initialization.
Failed The test has ended and one or more SLAs were broken.
Halted OpenText Core Performance Engineering stopped the test due to a security limitation.
Passed The test has ended without any failed transactions.
Running The test is currently running.
Stopped You stopped the test and no SLAs were broken.
System Error OpenText Core Performance Engineering was unable to run the test due to a server error.

Automatic archiving

The standard archiving for test run results is three months. Results older than three months are automatically archived, except for results that were set as a benchmark. To obtain archived results, submit a service request. Test run results that were restored from the archive, are available for an additional 12 months before they are archived again.

In addition, a single test is configured to manage up to a maximum 1000 test runs. When the maximum number of runs are exceeded, the oldest runs are archived for that test.
