Is there a way to define "number of builds" for JUnit test results in Jenkins?

Question

I am learning Jenkins. I just configured it to publish JUnit test results. Now it keeps accumulating all previous results in the plot. Please refer to the attached screen, which contains 20+ builds.

I am wondering whether I can configure it to only display last 10 builds?

Thanks. enter image description here

Do you just want to restrict the number of builds in the graph? or the number of builds in your build history? — dkatzel, Jan 06 '14 at 20:13
to dkatzel, I just figured it out how to clean up the old history: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3410141/how-do-i-clear-my-hudson-build-history. But I don't how to restrict the number of builds in the graph. Would you please show me how? Thanks. — Charlie Yen, Jan 07 '14 at 15:40

I just found out two ways to handle this issue by removing old build history.

1) Refer to answers to this thread: How do I clear my Jenkins/Hudson build history?

2) In config page, you can set number of builds & artifacts you want to keep. Please refer to the screen shot attached.

I don't think you can change the number of builds shown for the built in test result trend graph.

If you have other plug-ins that have trend graphs you can see most of them have a link under the graph to "Configure" it which you can set the number of builds to use etc, but I don't see one for the test graph so I think you are stuck using the number of builds in your build history.

I found a work-around which we found to be an acceptable solution:

You can install Dashboard View plugin.

Follow these steps:

create a new view of type Dashboard
select the job(s) of which you want to display the test result chart
click on the button Add Dashboard Portlet to the top of the view
choose Test Trend Chart
configure the desired Number of (latest) days to display
save the view

On the newly created/configured view you now have a test results charts with your desired number of builds.
