Recommended workflow

1. Locate the resultsrun by project, suite, execution date, or execution ID.
2. Open the completed result and review summary status first.
3. Compare key metrics or failed steps against the current run.
4. Record relevant links or execution IDs in athe browser-basedrelated Webdefect, pagereport, byor makingmaintenance livenote.

Comparison tonotes

• Avoid comparing runs that used different environments or data sets unless that difference is the Results Repository.

  AIQ keeps the results by execution. Each time you click the Play button in a Controller, or a Continuous Integration environment like Hudson, Jenkins, or Bamboo, execute a test AIQ stores a new execution.

  Choose an execution, click the Analyze button, and a new browser window appears displaying the list of Reports for the chosen execution.

  Printing Reports and Charts

  AIQ presents the results in a set of Web pages. Use your browser's Print command to print reports.

  Configuration

  AIQ uses a relational database (RDBMS) for its Repository. AIQ logs every test operation, test step, and monitored resource to the Repository. AIQ MySQL and Oracle. Contact IQ Global Services for support of IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server. For information, see Repository configuration in Appvance IQ.

  AIQ builds its own database schema to store the logs. The DB contains a catalog of scenarios (scenario, use-cases, and steps) and tables to store the results of executions (executions, transactions results, steps times). Use the Global Options link from the Start Screen, Navigate to the Preferences tab, Click Results under Preferences - Download SQL - to receive a copypoint of the schema.

  Database administrators use the Download SQL button to populate a database with the AIQ tables. For example,periods for MySQLperformance users, after creating a user account and granting ALL privileges to the user, enter the Username, Password, URL (in the format of jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/aiq,) and choose the database type. Make sure the URL does not include the AIQ database path. Click Result Schema. View the Output panel forcomparisons.

MySQL database administrators who run MySQL in Unix and Macintosh operating environments must start the database with the --lower_case_table_names=1 option. Without this option, the Results Analysis Engine encounters SQL syntax errors when MySQL processes AIQ's reports-related queries.

You must also change your Test-scenario to log to the correct repository. Use the Options tab in the Scenario Builder to change the repository location.
