Measures reported by EXOMailRndTripTest
Frequents breaks in the availability of Exchange Online and prolonged slowness in delivery of mails sent/received via Exchange Online, can adversely impact user experience with Exchange Online. To assure users of a high quality experience with Exchange Online at all times, administrators should be able to proactively detect and promptly avert the non-availability of Exchange Online and any processing slowness that it may be experiencing. This is where the EXOMailRndTripTest test helps!
At configured intervals, this test emulates a user sending/receiving a configured number of emails (default: 1) over Exchange Online. In the process, the test verifies the availability of Exchange Online for sending and receiving the emulated mail(s), and also reports the time taken to send and receive mails. This way, the test notifies administrators of the non-availability of Exchange Online and processing bottlenecks that it may be experiencing, well before users notice and complain.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Office 365 tenant being monitored.
