Manage test results

After you analyze your test, you might want to mark it for further analysis. To do this, you have a few options:

Save the test result, keeping it beyond normal data retention periods.
Make notes on the test result, preserving contextual details.
Export it to another format, so you can query it with the program of your choice.
Delete the test result, de-cluttering your UI.

To do any of these actions, use the vertical-dots icon to open the Test Result menu.

Save a test result

Besides saving a test result as a baseline, you can also save a test result to persist its data.

Note
Your Grafana Cloud subscription determines the number of test results you can save.

To save a test run, follow these steps:

Use the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of your test run.
Select Save test result.

After you save a test, your test will be added to one of the available slots.

Remove a saved test result

If you need to open up a slot to save a new test result, you can remove an old test by selecting Remove safe status.

You can also remove a test by following these steps:

Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
Go to Testing & synthetics > Performance > Settings.
Under Tests, click Saved test runs.
Select the trash icon next to the test result you would like to delete.
Select Remove safe status.

Unlike setting a baseline, saved tests can have more than one test run.

View saved test results

To view your saved test results, head to Manage > Saved tests.

Create a note

To create a note, follow these steps:

Use the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of your test run.
Select Create note.

The Create Note option launches a modal window with a text box. You can then write comments about the test, mark changes, or add any context worth noting.
