Interpreting LoadTest Reports
Greetings Eviware,
I would like some clarification please on my load test report to ensure I am analyzing the data correctly.
I have a test case which contains 10 methods/test steps. I used the Simple strategy and set the delays to 0. I set the thread count to 3. I ran the test for 60 seconds. The cnt for each step shows 39 and the test case total cnt shows 39. What I am trying to analyze is the total number of requests that were sent during the test duration of 60 seconds. Would it be 390? (10 steps x 39 cnt = 390)? Or would it be 117? (3 threads x 39 cnt = 117)?
In a similar test but different methods, I used the Simple strategy and set the delays to 0. I set the thread count to 3. I ran the test for 60 seconds. I have 8 steps in the test all doing the same thing---searching, but the size of the data being pulled varies in amount. I have 8 methods and I set the thread count to 3. I ran the test for 60 seconds. The cnt for each step is 342 and the test case total cnt shows 342. Does this mean that the total number of requests sent is 8 (steps) x 342? Or 3 (threads) x 342 ?
Or should I be looking at TPS to calculate my number of requests? In the latter case my TPS shows 5.65 for each step and a total test case TPS of 5.65 as well. Should I take 5.65 x 60(sec) to calculate total TPS/requests? Or would it be 5.65 x the number of threads x 60 seconds?
