Top-level Metrics

The Top-level Metrics section depicts the overall performance of the system under test using the metrics collected during the test (average page duration, pages/sec, bandwidth, etc). Charts for key summary metrics are included help determine if performance degraded during the test.

Performance Goal Analysis

In this section, each user level is analyzed for the compliance of test-level performance goals. Page-level or transaction-level goals are not included in this analysis. See the User Capacity and Performance Goal sections for a broader analysis.

Time-based Analysis

Page Duration

The Page Duration chart shows the minimum, maximum and average page duration for all pages in the test relative to the elapsed test time (sample period) in which they completed. Note that the page duration includes the time required to retrieve all resources for the page from the server. It includes network transmission time but not browser rendering time. In a well-performing system, the page durations should remain below the required limits up to or beyond the required load (number of users), subject to the performance requirements set forth for the system.

Page Completion Rate

The Page Completion Rate chart shows the total number of pages completed per second relative to the elapsed test time (sample period) in which they completed. In a well-performing system, this number should scale linearly with the applied load (number of users).

Transaction (URL) Completion Rate

The Transaction (URL) Completion Rate chart shows the total number of HTTP transactions (URLs) completed per second relative to the elapsed test time (sample period) in which they completed. In a well-performing system, this number should scale linearly with the applied load (number of users).

Failures

The failures section chart illustrates how the total number of page failures and the page failure rate changed throughout the test relative to the elapsed test time (sample period) in which they occurred. A page can fail for any number of reasons, including failures in the network and servers (web, application or database). See the Failures section of the report for details on the page failures encountered. In a well-performing system, this number should be zero.

Bandwidth Consumption

The Bandwidth chart shows the total bandwidth consumed by traffic generated directly by the load test engines throughout the test relative to the elapsed test time (sample period). In a system that is not constrained by bandwidth, this number should scale linearly with the applied load (number of users). Note that other sources of bandwidth may be active during a test and may even be caused indirectly by the load test but may not be included in this metric. If the Advanced Server Analysis module was used to collect server metrics, refer to the Servers section of the report for more detailed data. The bandwidth consumption is described in terms of the servers; i.e. outgoing bandwidth refers to data sent by the server to the browser.

Waiting Users

The Waiting Users and Average Wait Time metrics help diagnose certain types of performance problems. For example, they can help determine what pages users have stopped on when a server becomes non-responsive. The 'Waiting Users' metric counts the number of users waiting to complete a web page at the end of the sample period. The 'Average Wait Time' describes the amount of time, on average, that each of those users has been waiting to complete the page.

Test summary metrics

Sorted by the elapsed test time, this table shows some of the key metrics that reflect the performance of the test as a whole.
