      - Viewing results of a single test
        This topic explains how to view results of a single test.
      - Viewing results of multiple tests
        Additional data sets can be added to a chart, including those from other performance tests.
      - Chart windows
        Counter data is plotted on the upper right portion of the chart window.
      - Memory usage
        When using its charting features, IBM® Rational® Performance Test Server has to load the data sets from the database into memory.
    - Charts and chart templates
      The following topic describe how to work with charts and chart templates.
    - Chart counters
      The Counters tab on the chart windows displays the available counters, grouped by source.
    - Chart styles
      The Styles tab on the chart window enables you to modify the general appearance of the chart, including general styles and styles that are specific to each axis (when more than one axis is displayed).
  - Deploying probes
    A Rational® Integration Tester probe measures variables from a particular component in the system and reports back its findings for processing and storage.
- Integration Tester Guide (Service Virtualization)
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for Integration Testers.

About this task

To view available results for a specific performance test on chart:

Procedure

Click Browse and select the test on the Project Resource dialog box.
To clear the selected entry, click Clear.

All of the available results for the selected performance test are displayed in the results table, including summary information about each result set (for example, start time, end time, and so on).

Note: The End Time is displayed as "Running" if a test has not yet completed.

If an expected entry does not appear in the table, click Refresh to obtain the latest results from the results database.

Each row in the table represents a data set that can be used to plot a chart. To remove one or more data sets from the results database, select them and click Delete.
To view charts for a data set (in a separate window), double-click the required data set.
Alternatively, select it and click Analyse Results.

Multiple chart windows can be displayed at the same time.

Note: You can view a chart in real-time if you select it while its status is "Running."

Results will be displayed on an empty chart window with the Counters tab selected.
In the Title field, enter a title for the chart.
The selected data sets will appear on the Data Sets tab of the chart window.
