Report Generator Utility uses ALT Restful API to generate a report on scenario summary and transaction/page metrics in MS Excel format.

The report contains: Sheet Transaction/Page Summary Details:

This is a table where you can find a summary of a run scenario and information about every page/transaction in the scenario.

Prerequisites

The report generator uses Java 11 since it is the latest LTS release of Java at the moment . It can be downloaded at AdoptOpenJDK

...

For example, on Window 10 and AdoptOpenJDK the output should be like this

PS C:\temp\e> java -version
openjdk version "11.0.7" 2020-04-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.7+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.7+10, mixed mode)

Download Links

https://alt-report-generator.s3.amazonaws.com/1.0.11/ReportGenerator.jar and https://alt-report-generator.s3.amazonaws.com/1.0.11/java8/ReportGenerator.jar (Java 8 version)

Usage

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar 123 where 123 is Run ID of a completed job. On ALT Portal Navigate to Loadtest → Jobs and scroll down to Completed Jobs to find the Run ID.

Property file holds api.endpoint and api.token that is used for making requests to ALT Restful API.

It should be placed in the same directory with ReportGenerator.jar, be named reportgenerator.properties and have content like this:

api.endpoint=https://api-alt-us1.apicasystems.com/v1
api.token=98585B7D-1562-4FBC-9870-41F591C1XXXX

To get Token and Endpoint Navigate to API tab on ALT Portal

NOTE If the report generator is not able to find the property file it will suggest creating one:

PS C:\apica\alt-custom-report-generator\target> java -jar .\ReportGenerator.jar 123
Property file not found. Would you like to create a default property file? [Y/n] Y
Property file has been generated. Please set proper api.endpoint and api.token

...

Different Options Available

-p or --properties - custom property file, example

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar -p /path/to/property/file/filename.properties 123

-o or --optionsoutput - custom output report file, example

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar -o /path/to/output/file/filename.xlsx 123

-e or --api-endpoint, -t or --api-token - ALT Restful API endpoint and access token, example

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar -t 98585B7D-1562-4FBC-9870-41F591C1XXXX -e https://api-alt-us1.apicasystems.com/v1 123

-S or --inseconds - All the times will be in seconds

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar -t 98585B7D-1562-4FBC-9870-41F591C1XXXX -e https://api-alt-us1.apicasystems.com/v1 123 -S

-P or --pagemetrics - Report based on Page Metrics

java -jar ./ReportGenerator.jar -t 98585B7D-1562-4FBC-9870-41F591C1XXXX -e https://api-alt-us1.apicasystems.com/v1 123 -S -P

NOTE if both endpoint and token are provided as parameters the property file is not needed. If only token or endpoint is provided the other will be got from the property file.

Troubleshooting

If you get:

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Please check that cmd line is valid (see examples above), you have enough permissions to run the tool and Java is installed properly.
