Viewing the Results of a Test

Once you have started executing a test, information about the reports and documents being tested appears in the Results Summary area of Integrity Manager. This area lists all the selected reports and documents, by name and path. Each report or document also shows one of the following statuses:

  • Pending reports and documents have not yet begun to execute.
  • Running reports and documents are in the process of executing.

    In a performance test, this status appears as Running (#/#). The first number is the current execution cycle. The second number is the number of times the report or document will be executed in the test.

  • Paused (#/#) reports and documents, in a performance test, have executed some but not all of their specified number of cycles when the test execution is paused. The first number is the number of cycles that have been executed. The second number is the number of times the report or document will be executed in the test.
  • Completed reports and documents have finished their execution without errors.
  • Timed Out reports and documents did not finish executing in the time specified in the Max Timeout field in the Select Execution Settings page. These reports and documents have been canceled by Integrity Manager and will not be executed again during this run of the test.
  • Error indicates that an error has prevented this report or document from executing correctly. To view the error, double-click the status. The report details open in the Report Data area of Integrity Manager, below the Results Summary area. The error message is listed in the Execution Details section.
  • Not Supported reports and documents contain one or more prompts for which an answer could not be automatically generated. To see a description of the errors, double-click the status. For details of how Integrity Manager answers prompts, see Executing Prompted Reports with Integrity Manager.

Additional information for Completed reports and documents is available in the Data, SQL, Graph, and Excel columns:

  • Matched indicates that the results from the two projects are identical for the report or document. In a single-project integrity test, Matched indicates that the reports and documents executed successfully.
  • Not Matched indicates that a discrepancy exists between the two projects for the report or document. To view the reports or documents from each project in the Report Data area, select them in the Results Summary area.
  • Not Compared indicates that Integrity Manager was unable to compare the reports and documents for this type of analysis. This can be because the report or document was not found in the target project, because one or more prompts are not supported by Integrity Manager, or because an error prevented the report or document from executing.
  • Not Available indicates that Integrity Manager did not attempt to execute the report or document for this type of analysis. This may be because this type of analysis was not selected on the Select Processing Options page, or (if N/A is present in the Graph column) because the report was not saved as a Graph or Grid/Graph.

To view a Completed report or document and identify discrepancies, select its entry in the Results Summary. The report or document appears in the Report Data area of Integrity Manager, below the Results Summary.

In a comparative integrity test, both the base and the target report or document are shown in the Report Data area. Any differences between the base and target are highlighted in red, as follows:

  • In the Data, SQL, or Excel view, the differences are printed in red. In Data and Excel view, to highlight and bold the next or previous difference, click the Next Difference or Previous Difference icon.
  • In the Graph view, the current difference is circled in red. To circle the next or previous difference, click the Next Difference or Previous Difference icon. To change the way differences are grouped, use the Granularity slider. For more information about differences in graph reports, see Grouping Differences in Graph and PDF Reports.

Viewing graphs in Overlap layout enables you to switch quickly between the base and target graphs. This layout makes it easy to compare the discrepancies between the two graphs.
