  • Response time – Total time to send a request and get a response.
  • Wait time – Also known as average latency, this tells developers how long it takes to receive the first byte after a request is sent.
  • Average load time – The average amount of time it takes to deliver every request is a major indicator of quality from a user’s perspective.
  • Peak response time – This is the measurement of the longest amount of time it takes to fulfill a request. A peak response time that is significantly longer than average may indicate an anomaly that will create problems.
  • Error rate – This calculation is a percentage of requests resulting in errors compared to all requests. These errors usually occur when the load exceeds capacity.
  • Concurrent users – This the most common measure of load — how many active users at any point. Also known as load size.
  • Requests per second – How many requests are handled.
  • Transactions passed/failed – A measurement of the total numbers of successful or unsuccessful requests.
  • Throughput – Measured by kilobytes per second, throughput shows the amount of bandwidth used during the test.
  • CPU utilization – How much time the CPU needs to process requests. Memory utilization – How much memory is needed to process the request.
