Load- and Performance Test Report

Description

The request section is the most important statistics section when testing web applications. It directly reflects the loading time of pages or page components. Each row holds the data of one specific request. Its name is defined within the test case as timer name. The Count section of the table shows the total number of executions (Total), the calculated executions per seconds (1/s), minute (1/min), as well as projections or calculations of the executions per hour (1/h) and day (1/d). The Error section shows the total amount (Total) of errors that occured during loading of the page or page component. The error count does not include errors detected during the postvalidation of the data received. Typical error situations are http-response codes such as 404 and 505, timeouts, or connection resets.

The runtime section of the table shows the median, the arithmetic mean, as well as the minimum and maximum runtime encountered, and the standard deviation of all data within that series. The runtime segmentation sections shows several runtime segments and the number of requests within the segment's definition.

If the runtime of the test case is shorter than a displayed time period, e.g. test runtime was 30 min and the time period is hour, the numbers are a linear projection. That means they show a possible outcome of a longer test run, if load and application behavior would remain the same.
