Reports show more specifics than the real-time graphs. The data from all load generating servers is processed by LoadStorm’s reporting engine to produce both summary and detailed performance information.

Summary Test Results

This report provides the metrics as totals for the entire test, and each metric is broken down by HTML and other resources. The total transfer of data is shown, as well as the peak and average of key metrics such as Requests per Second and Throughput.

It is easy to see the differences in Average Response Times for static resources (e.g. images) versus the HTML.

Requests by Error Code

This report tells us how many times an error occurred and which resource caused the error. Most importantly, this data indicates the severity of the problem.

For example, a 500 (Internal Server Error) means that the target server knows it has a failure but cannot deliver as expected. That’s usually a sign that your database is overwhelmed such as connection pool empty.

This report includes:

  • Status Code or Error Code
  • Resource Requested from the Server
  • Error Count
  • Average and Peak Response times for those requests

Requests by Elapsed Time

This report breaks down the test results in chronological order and displays these columns for each one minute interval:

  • Elapsed Time
  • VUser #
  • Resource and Status code
  • Time to Complete
  • Bytes Sent/Returned
  • Content (MIME) type
  • HTTP Method

   

You can also download the CSV and drill down into details on a request-by-request basis.
