Page Duration

The duration chart shows the range of durations recorded for the item. The minimum, maximum and average values are computed for items that completed within the sample periods summarized for each user level.

Failures

The failures chart shows the number of failures recorded for the item during the sample periods summarized for each user level and the rate of failures compared to the total attempts for this item. A failure of a page or transaction could indicate a wide variety of problems from an inability to establish a network connection to the server to the failure of a validator configured to check the returned content.

Waiting Users

The detailed durations chart plots each duration recorded for the item during the test. Gaps in the chart could indicate a period where an item was not being serviced by the application even though there were outstanding requests for the item. Used in conjunction with the Waiting Users chart, this can be used to identify stalling behavior on the server.

Waiting Users

The Waiting Users and Average Wait Time metrics help diagnose certain types of performance problems. For example, they can help determine what pages users have stopped on when a server becomes non-responsive. The 'Waiting Users' metric counts the number of users waiting to complete the item at the end of the sample period. The 'Average Wait Time' describes the amount of time, on average, that each of those users has been waiting.
