Introducing Downloadable HTML report for Azure Load Testing

[Guest SaloniAgrawal12]

Azure Load Testing is a cloud-based service that helps you run performance and load tests on your web applications and APIs. You can easily create, configure, and execute load tests using JMeter scripts or custom code, and monitor the results in real-time on the Azure portal. You can also integrate your load tests with your CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub actions.

 

Until now, you could only view the load test results on the Azure portal, which required internet access and RBAC permissions. Now, you can download the report as an HTML file and share it with your stakeholders or teammates offline. The HTML report contains the same charts and metrics as the online report, but in a portable and convenient format.

By downloading your load test results as an HTML report, you can enjoy the following benefits:

 

• You can share your load test results with anyone who may not have access to the Azure Load Testing resource or the Azure portal, such as your clients, partners, or senior management.
  
• You can interact with the graphs and sort the data in the HTML report offline, without needing an internet connection or a browser.
  
• You can integrate your load test results with your CI/CD pipelines and download the HTML report as a test artifact.

We are excited to announce that Azure Load Testing now allows you to download the results dashboard as an offline HTML report. This HTML report enables you to interact with dynamic graphs that are generated based on the filters you select.

 

To download your load test results as an HTML report, you need to follow these steps:

 

• Run a load test till its completion.
  
• Navigate to the Test Results dashboard on the portal.
  
• Click on ‘Download’ and select ‘Report’. This will download the report.zip file.
  

 

 

• Extract the files from the report.zip file.
  
• Open the index.html file to view the load test results offline.
  

 

 

The HTML report also allows you to view the X and Y coordinates of the graphs by hovering over them and to zoom in and out of the graphs with ease.

 

 

In addition, you can sort and filter the rows in the 'Sampler Statistics' section for more convenience.

 

 

You can also download the HTML report as an artifact if you integrate your test with your CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub. You can extract the file to view the results.csv and index.html files.
