Analysis

Analysis form is designed for using Grinder Analyzer plugin for Grinder. It can create web based report from output and data files created during script run. These reports can only be created from successful runs, so killing (stopping) the instance of a test run will create invalid result file. By default, the test run should have at least 250 recordings, which means, that at least 250 requests must be called during execution of the script. This can be changed in grinder analyzers analyser.properties file under variable “buckets”. The file is located here: *GrinderFolder*\plugins\GrinderAnalyzer.V2.b15\conf\ for most of the setups.

Form consists of these elements:
• “Path to Grinder generated data file” - a textbox with a fallowing button (…). This field points to data log file generated from a test run. Button will allow to choose this file manually
• “Path to Grinder generated out file” - a textbox with a fallowing button (…). This field points to out log file generated from a test run. This file should be in the same directory as data file. Button will allow to choose this file manually
• “Nr. of agents” – a textbox element. A number of threads used while running the test script (that returned the log files)
• “Path to Grinder Analyzer” – A textbox. Shows the path to Grinder Analyzer directory. This is automatically filled from values provided in conf.xml file. If another path is picked, the new value will be updated to xml file on form closing event.
• “Path to Jython 2.2.1” – A textbox. A textbox. Shows the path to directory where jython.jar file is located. This is automatically filled from values provided in conf.xml file. If another path is picked, the new value will be updated to xml file on form closing event. Please note, that Jython 2.2.1 is the only version supported for Grinder Analyzer.
• “Run analyzer”- button. Pressing this button will start Grinder Analyzer plugin and redirect all output form it to read-only console textbox below. Upon completion the folder with generated report will be opened.
• “Save output as…” – button. Saves output from console as a text file.
