Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Availability |
Indicates whether
the WapTest succeeded in retrieving a web page via the WAP gateway or
not. |
Percent
|
A value of 0
indicates that the test was not successful in retrieving a web page
via the WAP gateway. A failure condition is detected either if there
was no response from the gateway or if the response contained the
error pattern specified as an argument to the test. |
| Connection_availability |
Indicates whether
the WapTest managed to establish a connection with the WAP gateway. |
Percent
|
A connection is
considered to have failed if the WAP gateway never responded to a
request, or if the gateway's response contained the error pattern
specified as an argument to the test. |
| Response_Time |
Indicates the
time taken by the gateway to respond to the emulated request. |
Secs
|
An increase in the
response time can occur either because the WAP gateway is overloaded,
or because the web server from which the web page is being retrieved
is slow. More detailed measurements from the WAP gateway (such as
requests/sec handled by the gateway, etc) are necessary to diagnose
the exact cause of this condition. |
