The payload is used by the REST API to pass and return data structures. It is used when the data is too large to be passed as a parameter. The input payload is a filter definition passed in the request to test result resources. The output payload is a set of test results. Payloads have a predefined structure to easily create, consume, manipulate and present by the client tools.
