Publishing Test Results with the Test Monitor API

Publish test results, log parametric data, and attach additional files to results for review or analysis using the SystemLink Test Monitor API.

The Test Monitor API, which is available in G, Python, and .NET, communicates with the Test Monitor service over an HTTP connection.

If you use TestStand, refer to Integrating Test Monitor with TestStand in this manual.

   1. In Test Monitor, select Test Results.
   2. Double-click the test whose attachment you want to download.
