Avg90 response time It is such value of response time that
values of response time for 90% of requests are less than or equal to this value.
Values for other 10% of requests are more than Avg90. See the
Response Time report and
graphs for page requests.
Cookies Cookies
are small portions of text left in browser on user's computer by web servers. They are
recorded to special files and in future can be transmitted back to web servers. There are
two different types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies are temporary. They are erased when you close your browser at the end of browsing session.
The next time you visit that particular site, it will not recognize you.
Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. The time when cookies expire
depends on the particular web site. Persistent cookies
enable a web site to remember you on the next visits.
CSV Reports You can adjust WAPT Pro to save test results
in CSV format and import them later,
any time you wish to Microsoft® Excel.
Download Time
It is the time of getting the content of server response:
from the moment a request is sent till the moment a response is received.
Download time is usually measured without images.
It is the time of loading the readable content of web page:
its structure (frames, tables) and HTML text.
See the Summary Graphs to know the values of
average download time (for all profiles) and
graphs for individual pages
to know the download time for specific pages.
Error Log Error log
contains page requests that were processed with errors during a test. So, if the response code for some
request is not equal to 200 OK, that request is included in the error log (except for the case of redirects).
Besides, if you make additional validity check of server response and receive a validation error, such request is
also included in the error log.
Full Log Full log is a comprehensive log of
WAPT Pro test run that includes the
information on all page requests, responses, redirects and returned HTML code.
Hit It is a single request for resource (page code, image, script and so on)
sent to the server. Each page may include many hits.
HTML Report HTML Report
enables viewing the results of test run just from a web browser.
On test completion, you will see a web browser window with the generated HTML Report.
IP Spoofing It is a feature of using several IP addresses during tests to emulate page
requests coming from multiple computers (see
Load Agent settings).
Navigation Pane Navigation Pane
is used for fast and easy navigation between different program views. It has a tree structure.
Navigation Pane represents all user profiles included in the current test scenario, a folder with test
scenario parameters, the list of Load Agents,
a folder with the results of test run and generated logs.
Number of columns in tables It is the number of columns in tables of
HTML Report and Summary Report.
The whole test duration interval is divided into this number of intervals.
The program calculates the averaged data on each interval and shows it in reports.
You can change the number of columns value in
Log and Report Settings.
Recorder WAPT ProRecorder records the steps of your
activity in browser as you navigate through a web site
and then reproduces these steps during test run.
Response Time
It is the time from the first byte of page request sent till the last received byte of
server response. In other words, it is the time from clicking a link or a button in browser
till the moment a page is downloaded.
WAPT Pro measures 2 types of
response time: without page elements and including page elements. See the
Summary Graphs to know the values of
average response time (for all profiles) and
graphs for individual pages
to know the response time for specific pages.
Summary Graphs Summary Graphs
display the consolidated information on all requests of all user profiles.
Click on the Summary Graphs item in the Navigation Pane to display the chart.
Summary Report Summary Report
contains a number of text reports that display the consolidated information on test run execution.
Select a desired report in the Summary Report folder of the Navigation Pane.
Test Results Results of test run:
HTML Report, Summary Report, Summary Graphs
and graphs for user profiles and individual pages.
Test Scenario WAPT Protest scenario
defines parameters of test run: the number of virtual users,
test duration, date and time when the test will be started, user simulation options and the
list of included user profiles. Scenario also contains options for saving log files and test results.
Test Sequence It is a sequence of pages
that form a user profile.
You can add pages to the test sequence using WAPT ProRecorder
or manually using the Add button on the toolbar.
Test Volume (or Load Level, or Workload) It is the total amount of activity placed on a
tested site/web application. It consists of a certain number of virtual users performing a
set of transactions during a specified period of time. You can specify these parameters
in the Test Volume view.
Timeout It is the
maximum time of waiting for server operation.
It can be the time of waiting for server response, or the time of sending a request
to the server, for example, time of uploading a file.
This timeout indicates that you either have problems with the work of web server, or bad connectivity.
You can change the timeout value in WAPT Prosettings.
User Think Time (or Delay between Requests) It is the time from
the moment a user receives the
last byte of web page currently being viewed to the moment when this user requests a new page.
You can specify user think time in profile properties.
Virtual User (VU) Virtual user
emulates the actions of real user.
WAPT Pro tests web sites by running
multiple virtual users.
Virtual User Profile User profile consists of web pages that will be
requested during test run.
You can add pages to a profile using WAPT ProRecorder
or manually using the Add button on the toolbar.
You can create as many user profiles as you need.
Virtual User's Session It is a single pass of user profile.
WAPT Pro Results File You can save the generated text reports and the data for graphs
in the form of WAPT Pro results file.
This file also includes the current test scenario and user profiles. After saving,
you will be able to open this file in WAPT Pro and view results in the
form of Summary Report, Summary Graphs and graphs for all user profiles
and individual pages.
