How is the average worked out exactly?

Ok great so now I understand that each line in the stats table represents the previous minutes data. If I wanted to make this a little more accurate can i put 0.5 mins? or do I put 30 secs or is 1min the lowest value I can have?

It's the lowest value that you can have. The Statistics Workbench though calculate averages for each 1 second, 6 seconds, 10 minutes, 2 hours and 12 hours for the whole execution and stores that into a database, that allows you to zoom, scroll and compare results.

The Statistics Workbench can also show long names for its statistics and have their exact definition better documented (at loadUI.org/Getting-results ).

Also what do the other column represent such as TPS - I know this is threads per sec but what does it actually represent and whats the diff between that and Ave-Tps

TPS actually stands for Transactions Per Second (as documented for the Statistics Workbench here). That is: How many transactions was completed (basically how many responses that was received) per second. Average TPS is just the average of this over a period of time (in the case of the Statistics component, down to 1 minute).

One of the loadUI team members wrote a blog post that discusses why and when TPS is very important.

PS. Sorry for pushing the Statistics Workbench all the time, but we really think that it's better than the Statistics Component and are probably going to remove that component in future releases to avoid confusion (but making it available as a custom component).
