This has been noticed that the throughput graph is always less attentive. The reason could be that a performance tester does not understand its importance or does not care about it because it is not included in the NFRs. Of course, it is true that Throughput does not fall under the core performance metric category … Read more
In a performance test script, a transaction refers to a group of requests which are sent to the server. A simple webpage may contain multiple requests which are associated with the components available on it. When a user does any action like hitting a button on the webpage then these requests (sync or async) are … Read more
Response time graph gives a clear picture of overall time including requesting a page, processing the data and getting the response back to the client. As per PTLC (Performance Test Life Cycle), the Response time NFRs should be discussed and agreed upon during the NFR gathering phase and then compared with the actual response time … Read more
A User Graph provides complete information about the load patterns during the test. This graph helps to identify: In the runtime viewer, User Graph provides information about the number of users currently accessing the application. When you run a step-up test or spike test, the User Graph shows a live load pattern which can be compared … Read more
Client-side performance test statistics represent the behaviour of the application which an end-user may experience in the real world. The analysis of such stats and graphs is termed Client-side Result Analysis. As an outcome of the test, these stats and graphs are generated by Performance Testing Tool and analysed by a Performance Tester. Any performance … Read more
Moving to the next level named as Intermediate level of performance test result analysis; you will learn how to read the different types of graphs. In the previous post, you got a high-level knowledge of Performance Testing basic graphs which might help to build a strong platform for the result analysis. So, moving ahead, you … Read more
