Manage test results
After you analyze your test, you might want to mark it for further analysis. To do this, you have a few options:
- Save the test result, keeping it beyond normal data retention periods.
- Make notes on the test result, preserving contextual details.
- Export it to another format, so you can query it with the program of your choice.
- Delete the test result, de-cluttering your UI.
To do any of these actions, use the vertical-dots icon to open the Test Result menu.
Save a test result
Besides saving a test result as a baseline, you can also save a test result to persist its data.
Note
Your Grafana Cloud subscription determines the number of test results you can save.
To save a test run, follow these steps:
- Use the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of your test run.
- Select Save test result.
After you save a test, your test will be added to one of the available slots.
Remove a saved test result
If you need to open up a slot to save a new test result, you can remove an old test by selecting Remove safe status.
You can also remove a test by following these steps:
- Open the side menu, head to Manage > Saved tests.
- Select the trash icon next to the test result you would like to delete.
- Select Remove safe status.
Unlike setting a baseline, saved tests can have more than one test run.
View saved test results
To view your saved test results, head to Manage > Saved tests.

The Create Note option launches a modal window with a text box. You can then write comments about the test, mark changes, or add any context worth noting.

Warning
Test deletion is irreversible.
To delete a test run, follow these steps:
