You have to generate <DartMeasurement> tags in the stdoutof the test <DartMeasurement name="Simple" type="numeric/integer">42</DartMeasurement> <DartMeasurement name="ExecutionTime" type="numeric/double">1.23456</DartMeasurement> and then in cdash you can configure the tests-overview page to display certain such measurements by name, and on the tests page you can also display graphs for such named measurements.
