Replaying and Comparing Result Groups

To make use of the test result, the client application can split the result into multiple sections. To this end, the test result is split into result set and result group.

A result set is part of the test results and contains all the results between two timestamps. A result set has a name, a begin time, and an end time.

A result group is a group of result sets or result groups.

Once a result set/result group is created, users can replay it at view level. Multiple result sets/result groups can be replayed in the same view to allow users to quickly compare statistical variations.

In real-time mode, in the chart views, the information related to a result set/result group beginning and end appear as markers.

The result set/result group functionality makes extensive use of data store. If data store is not enabled for a view, then no results are available to replay or compare.

To replay/compare a test result from a running test:

  1. Select Open Test Results Picker Dialog in the StatViewer window. The Test Results Selection window displays Replay Views as the default tab.
  2. Select Load Current Test or Load Previous Tests, according to the statistics you want to compare.
  3. Select the Replay/Compare Result Groups tab. This has the same functionality as the replay views mode (refer to Replaying Views).

    The Test Results Picker dialog is limited to loading results for one test only. If the results for a test are already loaded, you must first unload the respective test and then load a different test.

You can specify the display mode either from the Test Result Picker dialog or from the View Properties window.
