Abstract:
1. A computer program product embodied on computer readable media, the computer program product comprising instructions operable to cause data processing apparatus to: initiate, at an interface, load testing of a first application during a first test run in accordance with a first definition of a first group of load tests; initiate, at the interface, load testing of a second application during a second test run in accordance with a second definition of a second group of load tests; and initiate, at the interface, combining of test results of the first and second test runs to generate a report that individually characterizes at least some of the test results as members of a series of test runs, the series of test runs comprising the first and second test runs, the report comprising a plotted graph that includes a trend line corresponding to a trend of a metric between the first test run and the second test run, the metric being of a substantially same test case with a substantially same test configuration for each of the points of the trend line, the first and second applications being different builds of an application such that the trend line reflects performance changes across builds of the application across the first and second test runs, each of the first and second test runs being initiated independent of each other by a top-most parent test application in response to first and second user input to trigger the first and second test runs, respectively, where the first and second user input are separately entered from each other at separate times.
