Execution Reports (API)

Execution Reports in Robonito provide a detailed, historical record of every API test run. This allows your team to actively monitor APIs, evaluate performance over time, and quickly troubleshoot any test failures.

Every report captures metadata regarding the request dispatched, the response received, and a breakdown of all assertion outcomes.

Accessing Your Execution History

To view the execution histories of your automated tests:

  1. Navigate to Logs: Click the Logs button located in the top navigation bar of the Robonito platform.

  2. Browse the History Table: A panel will reveal a chronological table of past executions. Each row represents an individual API test or suite run.

  3. Inspect a Report: Click on any specific row to open its detailed execution breakdown.

Decoding the Report View

Clicking into an execution report exposes diagnostic data segmented into three core categories:

1. Request Details

This section logs exactly what Robonito sent to the target server:

  • HTTP Method & URL: The action used (e.g., POST) alongside the full queried endpoint.
  • Headers: The exact list of HTTP headers sent.
  • Request Body: The formatted payload data transmitted (if applicable).
  • Configurations: Active variables or environments utilized during the run.

2. Response Details

This section logs exactly what the API server returned:

  • Status Code: The HTTP status returned (e.g., 201 Created).
  • Response Time: Total time taken (in milliseconds) round-trip.
  • Headers: Server-side response headers.
  • Response Body: The data payload returned to Robonito.

3. Assertion Results

If assertions were active during the test, this section details their pass/fail results:

  • Summary: A list of every rule evaluated.

  • Status Flags: Explicit ✅ Passed or ❌ Failed indicators.

  • Debugging Insights: For failures, Robonito displays a side-by-side comparison showing the Expected Value versus the Actual Value returned. This helps you pinpoint the exact point of failure.
