Abstract:
1. A computer system comprising: one or more server computers, each including at least one processing unit; a plurality of application program storage modules, each coupled to at least one of said processing units and each storing at least one application program to be executed on at least one of the processing units; a communication network, the one or more server computers coupled to the communication network; a plurality of client computers coupled to the communication network, each of the client computers including a respective display unit, at least some of the client computers and/or server computers programmed to execute performance test scripts, said performance test scripts when executed by the client computers and/or server computers causing the client computers and/or server computers to exercise at least one of the application programs in a manner that simulates access to the at least one of the application programs by a respective user; at least one database storage module, coupled to at least one of the processing units and storing event data, the event data logging events that occur in the one or more server computers while the at least one application program is exercised by the client computers and/or server computers in a plurality of test runs, said test runs performed in connection with a plurality of projects, each of the projects defined for performance testing a respective one of the plurality of application programs; and a test data presentation module coupled to the at least one database storage module, the test data presentation module accessible by at least one of the client computers such that the test data presentation module generates a test data screen display for rendering by the at least one of the client computers via the display unit of the at least one client computer, the test data screen display including a data table, the data table presenting event data retrieved by the test data presentation module from the at least one database storage module, the test data screen display including data arrayed in said data table in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, each of said rows in said data table presenting data with respect to a respective event that occurred during one of said test runs, a first one of said columns for presenting event identifiers for said respective events, a second one of said columns for presenting descriptions for said events, a third one of said columns for presenting test run identifiers for the test runs during which the events occurred, the rows of said data table collectively presenting data with respect to events that occurred during test runs for two or more of said projects; wherein a first one of the projects for which data is in the table is for executing a first one of the application programs; and a second one of the projects for which data is in the table is for executing a second one of the application programs, the second one of the application programs different from the first one of the application programs.
