Performance report

This report summarizes the validity of the run, summarizes the data most significant to the run, shows the response trend of the slowest 10 pages in the test, and graphs the response trend of each page through time.

Overall tab

The Overall tab provides the following information:

Summary tab

The Summary tab summarizes the data most significant to the test run and lets you analyze a test’s final or intermediate results at a glance.

The Summary tab displays the following Run Summary information:

The Summary tab displays the following Page Summary information:

The Summary tab displays the following Page Element Summary information:

If you have set transactions in your test, the Summary tab displays the following Transaction information:

Page Performance tab

The Page Performance tab shows the average response of the slowest 10 pages in the test as the test progresses. It enables you to evaluate the system's response for the test duration, as well as after a test.

The bar chart shows the average response time of the 10 slowest pages. Each bar represents a page that you visited during recording. As you run the test, the bar chart changes, because the 10 slowest pages are updated dynamically during the run. For example, the Logon page might be one of the 10 slowest pages at the start of the run, but then, as the test progresses, the Shopping Cart page might replace it as one of the ten slowest. After the run, the tab shows the 10 slowest pages for the entire run.

The table, under the bar chart, provides the following additional information
  • The minimum response time for each page in the run. Response time is the time between the first request character sent and the last response character received.
  • The average response time for each page in the run; that is, the same information that is graphed.
  • The maximum response time for each page in the run.
  • The number of attempts per second to access each page. An attempt means that a primary request was sent; it does not include requests within the page.
  • The total number of attempts to access the page.

Response vs. Time Summary tab

The Response vs. Time Summary tab lets you see the average response trend as graphed through time. It contains two line graphs with corresponding summary tables:

Response vs. Time Detail tab

The Response vs. Time Detail tab lets you see the response trend as graphed through time. Each page is represented by a separate line.

The line graph shows the average response of each page through time. The table under the graph contains the following supplementary information:

Page Throughput tab

The Page Throughput tab gives you an overview of the frequency of requests being transferred per interval.

Server Health Summary tab

The Server Health Summary tab lets you see an overall indication of how well the server is responding to the load.

Server Health Detail tab

The Server Health Detail tab provides specific details for the 10 least successful pages
