Web Stress Test Sample Performance Numbers, Part 3
Web Stress Test Statistics (Not Updated for WPT™ 2.7)
The following measurements are the results from a web stress test specifically designed to determine the total output capacity in transactions per second of a single playback engine. It is a best case scenario meant to determine the absolute maximum amount of transactions that a user can expect to generate from a single computer. It does not take into account features that require additional processing resources such as session tracking, or parameter replacement. The test case consists of a single web page with 20 embedded images, an average URL size of 3.3K, and a total size of 70K. The test profile is as follows: random = ON, repeat delay = 100ms, network speed = 1Mbit/s, pacing = consecutive, sample period = 1 min, starting with 10 users and adding 5 per minute.
