Hi all,
I am trying to do a load testing of my web service using web-tests.
Take one instance. I have one web-test in my scenario. I have set the
user pattern as "constant-50 users". I ran the load-test for 2 minutes,
sampled every 5 seconds.
Each "hit" includes 2 requests.
I am confused as to what this "test" really means. One sample run gave
me the following results
Total tests: 1464 (from where did this 1464 come from? Shouldn't
it have been 50users X 120 seconds divided by 5sec sampling = 1200????)
Total requests: 2978 (again, shouldn't total requests be total tests X
2 since each "hit" has got two requests???)
Average test time = 4.01. I assume this is total time taken for the
test divded by number of tests. I guess I can assume, total time taken
is 120 seconds. So 120/1464 = 0.08!!!!!!
Looks like I am totally lost. I checked a lot for documentation both on
newsgroups and on the web, but didn't get anything that could make me
understand the concepts.
Went through the following

But this does not explain (or I am silly enough not to understand) why
my results appear to be so inconsistent.
Thanks and regards,
Michelle
