jmeter -n -t D:\jmeterProject
ecording_demo
ecording_demo.jmx -l D:\jmeterProject
ecording_demo\output\csvReports
esult4.csv -e -o D:\jmeterProject
ecording_demo\output\HTMLReport\HTMLReport2
2) To create report after test run from the result file:
jmeter -g [log file] -o [Path to output folder]

Hi, Thank you for the video, can't we create HTML report from GUI Mode/Jmeter?

[@qualityassurancelab7764]

Hi, yes we can create HTML report for GUI mode as well. For that, move to Tools -> Generate HTML Report and provide below details: Results file (csv or jtl) - Provide the path of Result CSV /JTL file user.properties file - Provide the path of user.properties file used to run the load test. You will find this file under bin folder Output directory - The directory where you want the report to be created(must be empty)

Such a satisfactory video,thanks and go ahead, but i hv a ques.How do I know if my report is good or bad, what are the important issues i will be look for after making the report?

You will get the number of users required for test run, expected response time for the requests in the test script etc. from the business team. On the basis of those retirements, In the HTML report -> Dashboard tab - > Statistics section - you can check Average, min and max response time, 90% line, Error % etc. Results in the form of graphs could be seen under charts. some important graphs as - Response times over time , Response time overview, Hits per second, Bytes throughput over time. You will have to validate these graphs and ensure that no abnormalities are seen.

Further moving one new issue while converting to HTML is "Error while processing samples: consumer failed with message : Could not parse timStamp using format defined by property jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms on sample 1.58669E+12 so and so...

[@qualityassurancelab7764]

@@srinivasprasad7765 Good to hear that Headers issue is resolved. Coming to your current issue - When you open .jtl/.csv results file with MS Excel , timestamps gets converted into scientific notation and saved in that format, which JMeter does not accept. So, convert the timestamp format to dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm in Result file and then Try to generate HTML report. Or, you can generate the result file and HTML report at one go using the command - jmeter -n -t [test JMX file] -l [test log file] -e -o [Path to output folder] Hope this helps!
