Tester Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing.
Technical Tester Guide
Typically, a user with the Integration Tester role is also responsible for performance testing. This guide lists all such topics.
View test results
This topic describes how to work with IBM® Rational® Performance Test Server charts in the Results Gallery perspective.
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).
Data used for plotting counters
On the Data tab of the Choose Style dialog box, you can configure how the data for the selected counter should be plotted. The options include plotting the selected line on a new axis and changing the label displayed in the legend for the current line.
Selecting axes
If some of the plotted counters have widely varying values (for example, the pass rate is in the tens range, but the duration is in the thousands), you may want to display one or more counters on its own axis.

Selecting axes

If some of the plotted counters have widely varying values (for example, the pass rate is in the tens range, but the duration is in the thousands), you may want to display one or more counters on its own axis.

About this task

Otherwise, the large range of numbers on the Y-axis will cause the smaller counters to lose their detail as they are plotted along the origin.

To plot the selected counter on an additional axis:

Procedure

Use the Axis list to select the axis.
You can select one more axis than the number that are currently displayed. That is, if one axis is displayed, you can select 1 or 2. If two axes are displayed, you can select 1, 2, or 3.
The following example shows two counters displayed on two axes:
