## 6.12.3 Gain insights into API quality 

Dissemination of test results with the interested parties and having historical and comparable view on the test data is as important as performing the test itself. Without the key understanding of the test results, any effort to fix the defects would be pointless. IBM API Test and Monitor provides a dashboard to view all the individual test run results. That way, you can use the failure cases as the basis of diagnosis. Also it generates functional and performance test reports to give you insight into quality over time. Follow these instructions to view test results and API quality reports: 

1. Navigate to Dashboard  page to view test results. Dashboard provides three different views to analyze your test results: Logs View show the status of the test runs where you can add filters based on timeframe, tag, location, and success/failure. You can also reach the test report of each individual test case and share the results with a wider audience. 

a. Select the Logs View as shown in Figure 6-339 on page 407.

b. Metric View shows the footprint of individual test requests for the selected timeframe, endpoint, and location. Select the Metrics view  as shown in Figure 6-340.
