As a Software Engineer, having load test measurements presented clearly while remaining flexible enough to provide all the information needed to evaluate test execution is crucial.


Many load testing tools struggle with reporting and end up creating only one type of report that minimizes how you can use and analyze your data.


Performator solves these issues in the following ways:


  • Using an extensible reporting framework that allows you to write your own reporters as needed.


  • An in-depth HTML report that allows you to analyze every reported metric.


  • Possibility to write metrics to databases and have templates for dashboarding tools.


As Performator's statistics engine, it utilizes the Hierarchical Statistics Report (HSR), which allows you to add as many reporters as needed to report collected and aggregated metrics in a format of your choice.


HTML Report


Performator's built-in HTML report provides an easy way to obtain all the data in one place. It allows the tester to analyze, filter, and export the data in various ways.


Below are some insights from the Performator HTML report based on a sample test.

It is possible to view human-readable output on the command line to observe what takes place during a test:



CSV


Data can be written to a CSV file that can be analyzed with Excel:



JSON


In case you need to post-process the collected data, a JSON reporter can be added to obtain the metrics as an array of JSON objects, as shown below:



Conclusion


Performator combines the flexibility to choose your output format with powerful standard HTML reports that make it easy to analyze the data collected during a test.
