General info

Collectors calculate information based on invocation response and validate result of invocation.
Collectors are executed after every invoke during test run. Test run sequence you can find here: Test execution sequence

Example of collectors setup in XML:

Following XML code should be included in test-description section
Order of collectors execution is the same as order of their declaration in XML
If test-description has parent, collectors from parent will be executed first

        <!-- begin: following section is used for docu generation - metric calculator usage-->
        <info-collectors id="defaultCollectors">
            <validator xsi:type="validator-not-null-response"/>
            <validator xsi:type="validator-consistency"/>
            <metric id="responseSize"  xsi:type="metric-custom" calculator="responseSize" plotData="true"/>
            <metric xsi:type="metric-ref" ref="successRateCollector" plotData="true"/>
        </info-collectors>

Info collector XML elements

metricAbstract - what metrics can be used in information collector XML element. See 'Sub Types' section of man page
validatorAbstract - what validators can be used in information collector XML element. See 'Sub Types' section of man page
How metrics and validators mentioned above are implemented you can see in section: Implementations of collectors
What is the difference between metrics, validators, collectors you can see in section: Custom collectors
