Extending report counters

In performance test reports, generic counters are collectable queries in the user interface that dynamically gather specific information from the statistical model, such as the number of page hits, the response time, the response success, and information about verification points. Counters are dynamic. The counter wizard is used to add counters to reports. You can extend the counter wizard for specific protocols. You extend the counter wizard in the ReportAction extension point, which is contained in the com.ibm.rational.test.lt.execution.results plug-in.

Any report that provides mean average data now also provides standard deviation data. If a protocol-specific report contains a mean counter, the extension is able to add the corresponding standard deviation counter onto that report.

• The ReportAction extension point
  ReportAction enables interactions directly on the report screen as well as in the Performance Test Runs view. Use this extension point to enable report menus and menu items in the tree and to extend the counter wizard for protocol. Implementors of generic ReportActions must extend the abstract class com.ibm.rational.test.lt.execution.results.actions.ReportAction, while implementors of AddCounterAction must specify relevant data in plugin.xml only.
