Load Test Report Export

You can export a report in two formats:

  • PDF, to share a formatted document with its charts, cover page and appendix: this page describes it first.
  • Markdown, to get every value of the report as text and tables, for a reader or an AI assistant: see Export as Markdown.

The export button is available in the report page header:

Export Report Button

Click on it to switch to the export view:

Export Report View

You can click on the Back to edition button to switch back to the report view.

Automatic formatting

We add several items in order to make the report easier to read, all of them are configurable:

Cover page

The cover page content can be seen and edited from the Configuration menu.

Table of contents

Any title H1 or subtitle H2 used inside Text report items is listed in the table of contents.

Page breaks

A page break is inserted before every title H1 when you export as a PDF file.

Configure export

Click on the Configure export button at the top of the page to open the Report Export Configuration modal:

Configure Report Export

Cover page config

The editor lets you insert and format text and images, using the Markdown syntax:

edit-cover-page

You can use the following variables:

  • $COMPANY_NAME$ to insert your company name (from your user profile,
  • $REPORT_NAME$ to insert the report name,
  • $REPORT_DATE$ to insert the report creation date,
  • $REPORT_DESCRIPTION$ to insert the report description.
  • $RESULT_START(0)$ and $RESULT_END(0)$ to insert when the test started and ended.

The other variables of the report templates are also available.

Tables

This screen allows you to configure the maximum size of all tables:

configure-report-tables

You can select the orientation, format, scale and margins of the document:

configure-report-format

Appendix

An appendix is appended to the end of the exported report. It contains a glossary that defines the most common terms used in load testing.

Appendix

Printing as a PDF file

To print the report, simply click on the Save as PDF button placed on the top left corner of the screen. Once the generation is finished you will be able to download the file:

download

download-files

PDF generation can take several minutes. If you do not want to wait, you can leave this page and the PDF will be placed in the report log panel when it is ready.

Tip

To export several reports at once, select them in the reports list and use Export PDFs: each report uses its own print configuration, and you download all the PDFs in one zip file.

Export as Markdown

The Markdown export downloads the report as a single .md text file. Use it when you want the values of the report rather than its layout: to read them in any text editor, to paste them in a ticket or a wiki page, or to give the whole report to an AI assistant and ask it questions about the test.

Where to find it

  • In the reports list: open the menu of a report and select Export as Markdown.
  • In the report itself: open the … menu of the report header and select Export as Markdown.

The file is downloaded right away, under the name of the report, for example Checkout campaign.md.

What the file contains

The file starts with a table of the test results of the report: scenario, status, start and end dates, duration, locations, load generators and virtual users. Then every item of the report follows, in the order of the report:

  • tables, trees and tops give their rows, sorted by their first metric;
  • charts give the statistics of each curve (minimum, average, 95th percentile, maximum), then their values over time;
  • errors are grouped by action and message, with how many times each one occurred;
  • SLA alarms, insights and monitors give their counters, severities and when they occurred, relative to the start of the test;
  • Text items keep their text, with their variables replaced.

The time range of the report applies, as on screen.

Comparison and trend reports give one column per test result. Each result is named by its label, as on screen: Reference or Run 3 in a trend report, the name you gave it in a comparison report.

Example, a table of actions:

| Action | HITS_TOTAL (COUNT) | RESPONSE_TIME_AVG (MILLISECONDS) | ERRORS_PERCENT (PERCENT) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Home | 245000 | 180 | 0.0123 |
| Login | 201000 | 240 | 0.0421 |
| … | | | |
| Wishlist | 47000 | — | 0 |

Sorted by HITS_TOTAL (COUNT), descending.

Note

To keep the file readable, long tables are cut. The file always says how many rows were left out: nothing is removed silently. The full values remain in the report on screen.

The Markdown export does not use the export configuration: no cover page, page breaks or appendix, and dates are written in UTC.

You can also receive this file automatically at the end of a test, attached to an email or to Jira issues.

Info

A report whose data must first be updated cannot be exported. Open it once to update its data, then export it again.
