Columns in this section contain information relating to the overall performance of your application.

• Performance Test Set. The test set from which the test was run.

• Test. The name of the test.

• Comments. Comments about the test run.

• Run Date. The date of the test run.

• State. The publish state of the run. Either Trended or Not Trended. If Not Trended, then the reason for this error appears in this field. A link appears to republish the run after you have fixed the error.
