Yardstick User Interface
========================
-This interface provides a user to view the test result
-in table format and also values pinned on to a graph.
+This chapter describes how to generate HTML reports, used to view, store, share
+or publish test results in table and graph formats.
+
+The following layouts are available:
+
+* The compact HTML report layout is suitable for testcases producing a few
+ metrics over a short period of time. All metrics for all timestamps are
+ displayed in the data table and on the graph.
+* The dynamic HTML report layout consists of a wider data table, a graph, and
+ a tree that allows selecting the metrics to be displayed. This layout is
+ suitable for testcases, such as NSB ones, producing a lot of metrics over
+ a longer period of time.

+
+Commands
+--------
+
+To generate the compact HTML report, run::
yardstick report generate <task-ID> <testcase-filename>
+To generate the dynamic HTML report, run::
+
+ yardstick report generate-nsb <task-ID> <testcase-filename>
+
Description
-===========
+-----------
-1. When the command is triggered using the task-id and the testcase
-name provided the respective values are retrieved from the
-database (influxdb in this particular case).
+1. When the command is triggered, the relevant values for the
+ provided task-id and testcase name are retrieved from the
+ database (`InfluxDB`_ in this particular case).
-2. The values are then formatted and then provided to the html
-template framed with complete html body using Django Framework.
+2. The values are then formatted and provided to the html
+ template to be rendered using `Jinja2`_.
-3. Then the whole template is written into a html file.
+3. Then the rendered template is written into a html file.
The graph is framed with Timestamp on x-axis and output values
(differ from testcase to testcase) on y-axis with the help of
-"Highcharts".
