Using the Project Dashboard

After you run an API Test, you can view your results, reporting, and analytics to gain further insight and maximize your testing.

What You'll Need​

Test Outcome Report​

The Test Outcome Report includes input data details and other useful test information, such as reasons for failure, HTTP requests, and response status codes.

There are three ways to access it:

  • From your Project's Tests section, click on any Test line item
  • From your Project's Dashboard section, click on any Test line item
  • From your Test's Compose section, in the right-hand nav.

Here's a breakdown of what each report contains:

Test Report Details: metadata about the execution of the test, such as Test Name, Project Name, and Mode (Scheduled or On Request)

Test Build Reports​

A Build is a collection of test results and metrics associated with a given build ID. To create a Build, you'll need to integrate Sauce Labs API Testing into your CI/CD pipeline, then run multiple tests simultaneously, grouped as a Build, by setting the build value in your config.yml. Sauce API Testing will group all events generated by the Test session under a "build" collector, and test results are collected under Dashboard > Builds. To view:

  1. Log in to Sauce Labs, then click API Testing.
  2. Click on any Project.
  3. Click the Dashboard tab.
  4. Select the Build tab.
  5. Set the date and/or build ID filters, if desired, to find the Test(s) you're looking for. Then click Apply.
