Can AskYourDatabase show the same answer in a different form?

AskYourDatabase presented the same category revenue figures as a horizontal bar chart on request. All seven amounts stayed the same to the cent, including outdoor and patio revenue of $7,744.59 in both forms.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

“Can you show that as a chart instead?”

What the tool returned

Here's your August 2026 revenue by category as a chart: The chart makes the story clear at a glance — Outdoor & Patio (highlighted in red) dominates, accounting for over half of the month's revenue, while the remaining categories are relatively small and closely clustered.

Why this result

The presentation had to change without altering the answer; the horizontal chart preserved all seven table amounts. The chart’s download link expires after 14 days, and its file is not included, so the values are read from the screenshot.

Also observed in this test case

Static chart with value labels. The revenue chart is a static image, not interactive. Each bar has a value label, so no hovering is needed.

Saved result reused. For the revenue chart, the product reused the earlier saved result rather than querying the database again.

Code before the answer. The chart reply displays a block of Python code above the answer, so technical text appears before the visualization.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
