Measures reported by CouchDBAuthCaTest

Authentication is the process of recognizing a user's identity. It is the mechanism of associating an incoming request with a set of identifying credentials. Authentication caching is a concept which an appliance sits on the network edge and caches authentication requests. Caching reduces internal traffic by minimizing hits to authentication, application and database servers. This test reveals whether/not the cache for authentication has been effectively utilized and helps assess the impact of this cache usage on the target server. From the metrics reported by this test, administrators can also figure out if the cache needs any further fine-tuning.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Apache CouchDB Server.
