If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Hi,
If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox the
response time i am getting is much higher for one user, but when i run the
same navigation(s) through JMeter script its giving a very less value and
moreover it is run for multiple users. 

How one should be interpreting this?

Thanks,
Sd.

You cannot average averages buy adding them, unless each average
represents the same number of samples.

You have to multiply each average by the number of samples it
represents, add them all together, then divide by the total number of
samples.

Re: If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Posted by sprasad <sp...@gmail.com>.
I have calculated manually by adding up all the response times in 'Average'
column and divided by number of labels, in my case that would
3920/7=560....if i divide it by 1000 to show it in seconds it would 0.56,
but here the value is 0.66 which i got in aggregate report...

actually the table which i have given you is aggregate report of a simple
login test script of my application, instead of the URL I have just given
numbers. This Login has been run for 25 users - total 7 navigations

One more thing you said last row value is not much useful ? then which value
should we consider to say that, you know, this login is taking "this" amount
of time for N number of users.??

Is Min. and Max. values against the labels are the response time (in
milliseconds) for that particular label/navigation - right ???

Thanks,
Sd

Re: If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Posted by Deepak Shetty <sh...@gmail.com>.
how have you calculated it manually (the last row value is not much useful
anyway)?
If Request1  = 10 samples each 10 secs therefore avg =10 seconds
and request2 = 1 sample , 1 second therefore avg = 1 second
then overall average = (10*10 + 1*1)seconds/(10+1) samples.

Re: If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Posted by sprasad <sp...@gmail.com>.
Hi Oliver,

I have a small () question for you -

I am running some tests and presenting the aggregate report - in this,
Average Response Time, which is the second column in agg. report table is
the "average of set of response times", but the the value displayed in the
last row - Total - and under Average column is not matching up when i do the
average of response times manually.

For ex, have a look at the below table: I have taken Average in seconds. The
Average *0.66* in the last row is not matching up when i do the average of
the response time manually. Also, Min and Max represent the min. response
time and max. response time for that particular label (navigation) - right ?

Thanks for the detailed explanation Oliver - i really appreciate it. Things
mentioned in your mail are like very valuable information for me. 

This Forum is a great thing that can happen to people using JMeter.

Thank you,
Sd

The problem here is you are trying to do something that is essentially not
possible and, crucially, not useful.

JMeter is not a browser so it will never give you the exact same response
times for rendering a page as you see in your browser. Indeed, different
browsers themselves will give you different page load times so there's
really no point worrying about the difference.

What you really need to do is work out your objectives - what are you trying
to do? What are your requirements for testing? You should qualify in verbal
terms what you what to achieve and then prove the same using your tests.
Then you should quantify these statements to create actual targets to aim
for, giving you pass / fail criteria. Having objectives is especially
important when thinking about 'rendering' the full page because this
experience is effected by multiple things and needs to be understood and
planned for. For example, do you even want to simulate page resources? Are
you using a CDN? Are there any other types of caches that you need to take
account of when designing your load? 

Based on the requirements you then go away and design a test that meets
them. If page rendering is in scope, if you want to validate the client side
performance, then this is more of a functional activity - you cannot use a
tool like JMeter to test this. In fact you don't need a 'tool' to do this at
all, just a mouse and keyboard will suffice. Client side performance is
crucial - there are lots of things to be considered and tuned for - but it
is not really relevant in this forum.

So, in short, page load times and server response are part of the same user
experience but need to be approached in different manners - this is an age
old principle of performance testing which is routinely misunderstood. 

If you can't get your head around this then these days you can solve the
problem by paying an external company to run tests where each script runs in
it's own browser (the Cloud makes this possible) or you can go down the
hybrid path and use another (rather well known) load test tool that gives
you GUI like scripts that almost run full browsers. If you don't have the
budget for this then JMeter offers an excellent solution, however without a
basic foundation knowledge of computing you're very unlikely to do a good
job.

RE: If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Hi A,

I understood what you are saying and yes i am parsing the entire page and it
makes around 10 to 15 ajax calls to generate that web page. I have a page
where on executing the nodes are about 15 to 20 under the thread group just
to display that web page, i will add it up - but how can i do that as i run
the script for multiple users like 50 or 100. Also, I look the statistical
aggregate report table where it gives the average for n number of users -
which happens to be within limits and it passes the SLA, but clearly it
should be failed.

Thanks,
Sd

That would depend on whether you are parsing the entire page and not just the main page request, some web pages can make 20 to 30 calls back to the server (images, java script files and .css files) to display just one web page. If you are going to simulate actual user traffic then you would need to make all the requests that the browser makes when parsing a full page. You would also need to know which files are cached by the browser for each page request. Add up the time it takes for all the requests for that page to get the full page load time. That should give you a closer time to what you are seeing in your browser.

I hope that answered your question.

Subject: If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox

Hi,
If i do a manual execution by adding extended status bar to firefox the
response time i am getting is much higher for one user, but when i run the
same navigation(s) through JMeter script its giving a very less value and
moreover it is run for multiple users. 

How one should be interpreting this?

Thanks,
Sd.

Hi Bruce,

It has heavy ajax this i can say for sure and also quite a number of images.
You said to use extra HTTP Request, you mean I have to just add another http
request default before the thread via config element or anything in
particular ?

Also, if it is due to java script how to compute that constant execution
time ? where can i find this one.

Please let me know on both counts.

Thanks,
Sd.

If the page you're getting has a lot of graphics or runs some heavy
javascript, that might explain the difference in the numbers. If it's
graphics heavy, I believe you need to create extra http requests to get the
images. That should give you a total number similar to the browser. If it's
due to Javascript you'll just have to compute a constant execution time
that's added by the Javascript. If this is the case you'll probably want to
compute different ones for each browser, too, since Chrome handles
Javascript a lot faster than Firefox does.
