Work with graphs

Work with graphs

On the active graph board, you can :

Add a graph
Duplicate a graph
Remove a graph
Update a graph with data coming from another test result
Update all the graphs of the graph board with data from another test result
Add in a graph, one or more curves coming from other test results
Move a graph to another graph board
Copy a graph to another graph board

Select a graph

You can select a graph with your mouse

A single click selects the graph.
A double click maximizes the graph.

You may also jump to adjacent graphs using the arrow keys.

Plot a graph

To plot a graph

Click the tab with the statistical data that you wish to plot.
Select the item to be plotted in the tree.
Select a Graph board.
Select a location in a Create a new graph panel and click the > button or drag and drop the item or statistic onto the graph panel on the right.
Enter a title for the graph. (For the graphs created based on a template, the graph name is automatically recovered from the template).

User Paths tab

Web pages, HTTP requests or Containers can be plotted in the graph.

Use All pages for an average of all pages (for one User Path or for all User Paths) or All requests for an average of all requests (for one User Path or for all User Paths).

If the selected node is a child of the Shared Containers node, the plotted statistics represent the aggregated statistics for all the User Paths that contain that element.

For more information about shared elements, see Shared Containers.

Add a curve

Click on the tab having the statistical data that you wish to plot.
Select the item to be plotted in the tree.
Select an existing graph.
Use the > button or drag and drop the item or statistic onto the graph panel on the right.

Copy or move graphs

Select the graph, use the context-sensitive menu of the mouse, choose:

Cut graph: to be able to move it (or CTRL + X on the keyboard).
Copy graph: to be able to copy it (or CTRL + C on the keyboard).

Change graph board and move to a blank graph space.

Paste (or Ctrl + V on the keyboard).

Update a graph

This method is used to substitute one or more existing curves, with curves coming from another test result.

Case 1 : All the graph curves come from the same test result

Select the data source with the Results drop down menu

Select the graph in the graph board

In the context-sensitive menu, choose the Update Graph

Accept the update

The graph now displays the curves with data coming from the R1-A test result instead of R1-B.

Case 2 : The graph curves come from different test results

Select the data source with the Results drop down menu

Select the graph in the graph board

In the context-sensitive menu, choose the Update Graph
Choose the test results to substitute.

Accept the update

The graph now displays the curves with data coming from the "Data Scenario 2" test result instead of "R1-A".

Delete a graph

To delete a graph

Select the graph to be deleted.
To delete the graph:

Press the DEL key,
Right-click and select Delete graph, or
Click on the X button.

Warning: When a graph is deleted, it is replaced by a blank graph space. This blank graph can be deleted if it is not the last remaining graph.

Delete a graph curve

To delete a graph curve

Select the graph to be modify.
To delete the curve:

Select the element in the caption bar and press the DEL key,
Select the element in the caption bar, right-click and select Delete,
Select the element in the caption bar and click the < button, or
Right-click on the graph and select Delete a curve.

Warning: Deleting the last remaining curve in a graph deletes the graph.

Move a graph

The layout of the graphs can be changed:

To move a graph, it is necessary to drag and drop the graph to be moved to the new position (existing graph or Create a new graph position).
To select the graph, it is necessary to either click on the edge of the graph, or press the SHIFT key and click in the center of the graph.

Maximize/minimize a graph

You may adjust the size of a graph to occupy all the available space, or minimize it.

To maximize or minimize a graph:

Right-click, then select Maximize or Minimize.
Click on the Maximize or Minimize button in the button toolbar.
Double-click on the graph.
