Load and Performance Test Report

Description

The request section is the most important statistics section when testing web applications as it directly reflects the loading time of pages or page components. Each row displays the data for 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 second (1/s) and per minute (1/min), as well as projections or calculations of the executions per hour (1/h) and day (1/d). The Errors section shows the total number (Total) of errors that occured during the 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 and 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) section 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--for example if the test runtime was 30 minutes and the time period is in hours--then the numbers are a linear projection. That means they show a possible outcome of a longer test run, assuming load and application behavior remain the same.
