Abstract

Disclosed are various methods of presenting result visualizations for test results. The visualization may include a timeline, a test label area, a test parameter indicator, and a test value representation. The test parameter indicator is associated with the test provided at a location corresponding with the test label of the test label area and with a location corresponding to a test time of the timeline, including a first test parameter indicator end associated with the upper test parameter threshold and a second test parameter indicator end associated with a lower test parameter threshold. The test value representation of a test value extends away from the test parameter indicator and proportionally represents the test value relative to an upper test limit and the test value to a lower test limit.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A system for displaying test results on a display device, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and
one or more computer readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
access a test result comprising a test value associated with a test, wherein the test includes an upper test parameter threshold and a lower test parameter threshold;
determine whether the test value is between or outside the upper test parameter threshold and the lower test parameter threshold;
render, on the display device, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising:
a timeline extending in a first direction of the GUI;
a first test parameter indicator associated with the test provided at a location relative to the timeline corresponding to a test time of the test result, wherein the first test parameter indicator is displayed as a vertical line perpendicular to the first direction and includes a first end associated with the upper test parameter threshold and a second end associated with the lower test parameter threshold;
a test value representation for the test value from the test result, beginning at the first test parameter indicator and extending in the first direction perpendicular to and away from the first test parameter indicator,
wherein in response to the test value being between the upper test parameter threshold and the lower test parameter threshold:
(i) the test value representation being displayed at an intersection location on the first test parameter indicator at or between the first end and the second end, wherein the intersection location proportionally represents the test value relative to the upper test parameter threshold and to the lower test parameter threshold, and
(ii) the test value representation extending away from the first test parameter indicator for a first length to visually represent a threshold not being exceeded by the test value; and

wherein in response to the test value being outside the upper test parameter threshold or the lower test parameter threshold:
the test value representation being displayed extending from the first end or from the second end of the first test parameter indicator for a second length that is larger than the first length to visually represent a threshold being exceeded; and

provide the rendered GUI for display at a display of a computing device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to generate and display the first test parameter indicator to include a second vertical line parallel to and spaced apart from the vertical line;
wherein the vertical line of the first test parameter indicator and the second vertical line to define a test result area for the test value; and
wherein the test value representation is displayed extending between the vertical line and the second vertical line within the test result area.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to, in response to the test value representation intersecting the first test parameter indicator at the second end based on the test value exceeding the lower test parameter threshold, display the test value representation having a test value representation width that is greater than a test parameter indicator width, of the first test parameter indicator, as measured in the first direction.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the GUI further comprises a numerical value associated with the test value adjacent to the first test parameter indicator, and wherein the at least one processor is further caused to:
receive a compressing input;
modify a first scale of the timeline to a second scale of the timeline, the second scale of the timeline comprising a greater timespan than the first scale; and
based on the modification from the first scale to the second scale of the timeline, remove the numerical value associated with the test value.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further caused to:
receive a compressing input; and
based on the compressing input, modify the first length of the test value representation to be shorter.

6. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
access a test result comprising a test value associated with a test, wherein the test includes an upper test parameter threshold and a lower test parameter threshold;
determine whether the test value is between or outside the upper test parameter threshold and the lower test parameter threshold;
generate, on a display device, a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying test results at a computing device, the GUI comprising a timeline extending in a first direction of the GUI;
generate a test label area on the GUI comprising a test label that identifies the test;
generate a test parameter indicator on the GUI associated with the test result displayed at a location corresponding with the test label of the test label area, and at a location along the timeline corresponding to a timestamp associated with the test result;
wherein the test parameter indicator is displayed as a line perpendicular to the timeline and includes a first end associated with the upper test parameter threshold and a second end associated with the lower test parameter threshold of the test;
generate a test value representation for the test value from the test result, beginning at the test parameter indicator and extending in the first direction perpendicular to and away from the test parameter indicator;
wherein in response to the test value being between the upper test parameter threshold and the lower test parameter threshold of the test:
(i) the test value representation is displayed on the GUI at an intersection location on the test parameter indicator between the first end and the second end;
(ii) wherein the intersection location proportionally represents the test value relative to the upper test parameter threshold and the lower test parameter threshold; and
(iii) the test value representation is displayed on the GUI having a first size and a first length extending away from the test parameter indicator to visually represent a threshold not being exceeded by the test value; and

wherein in response to the test value being outside the upper test parameter threshold or the lower test parameter threshold:
(i) the test value representation is displayed on the GUI at an intersection location at the first end or at the second end and extending away from test parameter indicator; and
(ii) the test value representation is displayed on the GUI having a second size and a second length that is visually larger than the first size and the first length to visually represent a threshold being exceeded.

7. The media of claim 6 , wherein the computer-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor to:
in response to the test value exceeding the upper test parameter threshold, display the test value representation having a width measured in a second direction that is greater than a width of the test parameter indicator.

8. The media of claim 7 , wherein the width of the test value representation is greater than a second test parameter indicator width of a second test parameter indicator as measured in the first direction.

9. The media of claim 6 , wherein the GUI further comprises the test value positioned adjacent to the test parameter indicator.

10. The media of claim 6 , wherein in response to the test value exceeding the lower test parameter threshold, the test value representation is displayed having a
