This test emulates a user logging into a web application being monitored by the Web App Simulator tool. In the process, the test reports the availability and responsiveness of the web application. The activities that were successful and that failed are measured and reported along with the total simulation time. Additionally, the test also captures failures (if any) at each step of the simulation. Using the insights provided by this test, administrators can proactively detect logon slowness/failures and precisely pinpoint the root-cause of the anomaly. This way, web administrators are enabled to isolate the probable pain-points of their web application, even before users begin to actively use the web application.

Output of the Test: One set of results for every transaction in each recorded script.

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Availability	Indicates whether/not this transaction is completed successfully.	Percent	The value 100 for this measure indicates that the transaction was completed successfully, and the value 0 indicates that transaction failed. If this measure reports the value 0, then no other measures will be reported for that transaction. You can also use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the output of the simulation script, scrutinize it, and isolate the failure and problem points of the web application at first glance.
Total_activity_time	Indicates the time taken by this transaction for execution.	Secs	Compare the value of this measure across the transactions to figure out the transaction that is taking too much time for execution.
No_of_activities	Indicates the total number of activities performed by this transaction.	Number
No_of_success_activities	Indicates the number of activities that were successfully performed by this transaction.	Number	Compare the value of this measure across transactions to figure out the transaction for which least number of activities were successful.
No_of_failure_activities	Indicates the number of activities that failed for this transaction.	Number	Compare the value of this measure across transactions to figure out the transaction for which the maximum number of activities failed.
Pct_of_success_activity	Indicates the percentage of activities successfully completed for this transaction.	Percent	The value 100 for this measure indicates that the activities were successfully completed, and the value 0 indicates that the activities failed to complete. By comparing the value of this measure across transactions, you can quickly identify the transactions for which the activities failed to complete successfully.
Total_simulation_time	Indicates the total time taken to simulate this transaction.	Secs	This measure is applicable only for the Total descriptor. An abnormally high value for this measure could indicate a logon slowness.
