Measures reported by SyntheticTransTest

This test exactly pinpoints administrators to what has actually contributed to the slowdown of a web site/application - is it the URL components like HTTP, jss etc? or is it the error components? or is it the page load time?. This way, administrator is able to figure out the real reason behind such slowdowns.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availability Indicates whether this page has downloaded successfully or not.   This relates to the availability of the page, i.e whether a page has downloaded successfully or not. In Windows Applications, this relates to whether the step has executed properly or not. It is expressed as Up and Down - Up if the download is a success and Down if not.  A variation of this is for the availability of all the steps against the Summary descriptor - if even 1 step has failed, the Availability is termed as Down.

The numeric values that correspond to the measure values reported by this test are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Up 100
Down 0

Note:

By default, this measure will report the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the availability of the application/page. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only.
Status_Code Indicates the current status of this page. Number  
Load_Time Indicates the time taken for this page to download or the step to execute.  Seconds A low value is desired for this measure.
Number_Of_Entries Indicates the number of URL components available in this page. Number  
blocked Indicates the time spent by this page in a queue waiting for a network connection. Seconds If the time taken by this measure is too long, then, administrators should check the network connectivity of their infrastructure.
dns Indicates the amount of time spent for a DNS lookup on this page. Seconds  
connec_t Indicates the time taken to establish a TCP connection. Seconds A high value is an indication of network congestion.
send Indicates the time required to send the HTTP request to the server of this web page. Seconds The value returned by this measure mostly depends on the size of the data sent, network congestion and proximity of the client ot the server.
wait Indicates the amount of time that is spent while waiting for an initial response upon a request. Seconds  
receive Indicates the amount of time required to read the entire response from the server. Seconds The value returned by this measure mostly depends on the size of the data received, network congestion and proximity of the client ot the server.
ssl Indicates the time taken to establish an SSL handshake to this web page. Seconds  
Html_Count Indicates the number of HTML components in this web page. Number  
Js_Count Indicates the number of javascript components in this web page. Number
