Test Results in Ready API

Compare Page

It allows us to compare the test results between two different test runs. Past runs can also be reached using execution history and transaction logs. It is available at Project, test case, and test suite levels.

Test Run Panel

It includes two panels.

•  Recent Test Runs: In this list, the runs sorted by dates, with the latest at the top, are displayed. We can select one or more tests and save those runs in the drop-down list. If we have to keep a large number of runs, we will use Archived Test Runs.
   
•  Archived Test Runs: In here, Ready API shows the runs that we have selected for storing. Right-click the name and select Archive run in the menu to Archive any test run. Saved runs are displayed in order, sorted by dates, with the latest at the top.

Log Panel

The Log panel on the right side of the Compare page displays a transaction log of the run's events, transactions, and results.

There are several functional buttons on the log panel:

• Click Settings to open the log settings window.
   
•  Click erase to clear the Log.
   
• To export the log, click on the export option.
   
•  Click on the down arrow or right arrow to expand or collapse the log records, respectively.

Diff Mode

Select Diff from the Show drop-down menu to enter Diff mode.

The log area in Diff mode displays the differences between the baseline and the run you've chosen. During runs, you can expand nodes by clicking on them. To view the details of a node item, double-click it.

Log Mode

Select Log from the Show drop-down menu to enter the Log mode.

The Log in Log mode displays both transactions and the baseline comparison at the end.

You can use it if you want to know the details of the run as well as individual test results. You can expand nodes by double-clicking them during the run. To view the details of a node item, double-click it.

Setting a Baseline

The baseline is a run that ReadyAPI uses as a template against which subsequent runs are compared.

A project can only have one baseline per level at any given time. To make a run a baseline, right-click it in the list of Recent Test Runs or Archived Test Runs and choose Set as a baseline. If it is not already in Archived Test Runs, the run will be added. Its name will be highlighted and end with (baseline).

Test History Page

The History page provides a high-level overview of previous test runs. You can find general information about your test runs, including results, on that page. This page is also available at Project, Test suite, and Test case levels.

•  We can manage the list of displays by checking the box Only this Project to get the list of only the test runs of the current Project.
   
• We can also hide the information of older runs by entering the start date to the Form field and can also access the older test runs before a particular date by entering the date to the To field.

Creating Test History Backup

Because ReadyAPI saves the test history on your computer, it is possible that it has become corrupted for some reason. We recommend that you perform regular backups to ensure that you do not lose your data.

Select File> Backup Test History and specify the backup File to create a backup.

The test history can later be imported into ReadyAPI.

To do so, go to File> Restore Test History and choose the backup File.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ready API?

ReadyAPI is a no-code API testing platform that is designed to simplify your testing workflows. End-to-end tests can be automated and scaled across multiple API types. Run load tests that are compatible with your functional tests.

What is the role of Transaction Logs in Ready API?

The Transaction Log page in Ready API contains the tests and results for the most recent run of the current level. It displays information on incoming requests and outgoing responses that occurred during the current service run.

What is the role of Compare in Ready API?

It displays information on incoming requests and outgoing responses that occurred during the current service run. It also contains Archive Test Run List to compare.

Conclusion

In this article, we have discussed features of Ready API which helps in seeing all the transaction logs of the current run, also comparing the different results and the history page for accessing results of the previous run.
