Setting Test Type in 5.5
Hi,
I know that in v5.5 we now have Test Categories in the Test Automation dashlet - “Unit Tests”, “UI-driven Tests”, “Performance Tests”, and “Load Tests”. What designates what test type the executing test is? When I use JUnit, I get – not surprisingly – “Unit Tests”. How would I get Load Test results to appear here, for example?
thanks,
ted
Thanks, Andi.
You say that if it's a Performance Test "we will analyze different measures". Where can I find out more about which measures are analyzed for each type of test?
thanks,
ted
Hi Ted,
I've updated the documentation. See https://apmcommunity.compuware.com/community/display/DOCDT55/Test+Automation to get your answer about "we will analyze different measures".
Best regards,
Richard
Hi Ted
Whenever PurePaths from the Unit Test Sensor come in they will be treated as "Unit Tests". With the REST call to SetMetaData you can however change that to category "Performance Test". This will force the dynaTrace Server to treat new incoming PurePaths as "Performance Tests" which means that we will analyze different measures".
Same should be true for load tests - so - before running a load test you want to call the setmetadata. Then you run your load test - make sure to use start/stop recording. The load test session should then show up in the test automation dashlet.

Andi, instead of making a REST call to SetMetaData, can could I pass it as a parameter in the pom.xml when I perform a build?
e.g.
<dynaTrace.testCategory>ui-driven</dynaTrace.testCategory>
