      - Creating an executive summary from the workbench
        To create a printable report that summarizes the findings of the performance test run on a single view, create an executive summary. You can export the data of the test run as an executive summary from a single report or from multiple reports such as Performance Report, Mobile and Web UI Statistical Report, Transaction Report, and Loop Report. You can then open the summary in a word-processing program to further format and annotate the data.
      - Creating an executive summary from the Web Analytics report
        To create a printable report that summarizes the findings of the performance test run on a single view, create an executive summary. You can choose to view the executive summary on a web browser or save it on a computer.
      - Exporting reports to HTML format
        When you export a test run and share it, people can analyze test data without using the test workbench. You can also email the test run or post it on a web server. The exported run can be displayed and printed from any browser. A test run contains multiple reports. You can choose to export any or all of the reports.
      - Exporting results to a CSV file
        To further analyze test results, you can export all statistics or specific statistics captured during a run to a CSV file.
      - Sharing URL of test run
        When you share the URL of the test run with other people, they can view and analyze the test results on a browser on their computer if the test workbench is running on your computer at that time.
      - Exporting report metadata
        To share report metadata with another test workbench user, export the report definition. Use this option to share customized report formats with other users. The recipient imports the metadata with Eclipse's Import option and views the report from the Test Navigator or in the list of reports in the web report.
    - Evaluating mobile test run results
      To check whether or not the mobile test ran successfully, you can open the test report. You can also view each recorded functional action in the report.
    - Logs overview
      Rational® Functional Tester uses logs to store different types of information, which you can use to determine the reason for a test failure.
