Request times breakdown

The StresStimulus request details grid (as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Request+Details) displays statistics for every request that includes: · Time to first byte (TTFB) – server’s initial response · Time to last byte (TTLB) – server’s final response · Network latency – (TTLB – TTFB) Additionally, StresStimulus session timers (described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Session+Timers) show timers for every request individually.

Request times breakdown

We would like to know if StressStimulus is able to break down server response times, for example, total server response times, including page load time, send and receive response time, network latency, integration time etc. I am aware the requests response times and in depth of each request response time it can capture, but need to know about the above one. Is this captured by the StressStimulus tool?

I would like to do a very basic stripped down load test with a set of url's (numbering around 5000) .

It sounds like you require different VUs to log in at different times. I would suggest inserting a Delay object https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Delay before the login transaction with the following properties: · Set the Delay type property to Random · Set the Maximum delay property equal to the Step duration property in the Step load pattern (see screenshot below). That way, the VUs logins will be spaced out to their maximum extent.

Resolving concurrent logins

I am trying to run a test with 10 load generators. But it adds the condition that I have to use a minimum of 10 users for ramp-up (should be equal to or more than the LGs) and 10 users for starting up the test. Since my application has a very complicated login, it is causing the concurrency in the test and increasing the login response time exponentially. Is there any way to avoid the concurrency or reduce the ramp-up, like 1 or 2 users from 10 users?

Stop auto-login during recording

You are NOT seeing the login box when launching the URL because, by default, StresStimulus recorded passes the Windows user credentials to the server automatically. To disable this behavior, uncheck the Automatically Authenticate in the Other Recording Options as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Other+Recording+Options.

I am trying to record steps which require a login to Dynamics (CE). I am required to log in with a test user for this, but each time the URL is launched in incognito mode via the StresStimulus recorder, automatically, I get asked to authorize the USER account that is logged into the server. I followed the online support suggestion to add in Authorisation via Recording Other options – but this has made no difference. I want to be able to launch the URL and NOT see auto-login for the account that is logged in to the box/VM.

Why is the Transaction Details table not populated
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551

According to your screenshot, all your test iterations were completed with the status failed. That is the reason you are not seeing transaction stats. One way to determine the reason for failure is to look at the Activity diagram as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/VU+Activity+View Open the Activity diagram Check the show failed iterations checkbox Hover the mouse over one iteration. The tooltip will appear with the reason for failure. You may contact your support rep for assistance with troubleshooting your test script and execution. If you are evaluating StresStimulus, you can request a free test configuration session from https://www.stresstimulus.com/trials/free-test-configuration

How to capture application timings
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551

StresStimulus offers complete aggregate and individual metrics for every request in the test without any scripting. You can see the aggregate request results in the Request details grid in the test report described: https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Detail+View and https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Request+Details To see the detailed timers for every individual request: 1. Query the test log to restore the particular requests you wish to view timers for as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Querying+the+Test+Log Right-click on each restored request and select the Session Inspector option to open the inspector.
1. Click the Show Sessions Timers button to bring up the timers for the request/response as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Session+Timers

I need to know whether Stress Stimulus is able to capture the application timing, from submit, process, firing request, reaches the interface, reaches the host, come back to application.

Measuring Response time by VU
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551

The calls (requests) for every VU and every iteration can be observed in the waterfall chart as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Single+Waterfall+Chart To export the waterfall chart data to Excel, right-click > Export to CSV… as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Waterfall+Chart+Commands An alternative way to see the response time for every request is to query the test log as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Querying+the+Test+Log. The response time for every request is in the TTLB column of the sessions grid.

How to calculate Transaction Response timing
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551

Here are the steps to determine 25% transaction response timing. You can use the same steps for 50% and 75% 1. In the transactions details grid, click the details link to open the transaction sub-report described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Page+and+Transaction+Result+Tabs 2. Open the Activity view as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/VU-Activity+View 3. Right-click on the Activity diagram > select Export to CSV… option and save the activity report to a .csv file
1. Open the .csv file in Excel and sort ascending by the Duration column. 2. Find the 25th% row from the top. For example, if there are 200 rows, the 25th% row is row number 50. The duration field of that row is the 25% transaction time.

Why Autocorrelation is disabled?
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551

The Autocorrelation option is disabled when the Test Wizard is displayed after the test is recorded. This is because autocorrelation runs automatically after the recording is over, and it is unnecessary to execute it again immediately. If you need to re-run autocorrelation at any time, follow the steps described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/AutoCorrelation

Getting High response times while performing LT
George @StresStimulusAdministrator Posts: 551
|
The most common reason why you are receiving a high response time is your test configuration. For example, the above-the-fold portion of the page can be displayed quickly, while additional time is necessary to complete rendering the entire page, and such client execution delays are included in transaction time as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc58/Client+execution+delays. In this case, you need to exclude the client execution delays.
Another example is when, after a page starts showing up in the browser, the server still sends some requests in the background that StresStimus includes in the transaction response time. To address this issue, you need to divide your transaction into two: the 1st should include requests necessary to display the page, and the 2nd should include the remaining requests necessary to receive all server responses.
For more specific troubleshooting steps, contact your support rep.

I have created a script in stress stimulus and I have tried to apply the load of 100 users, it is reporting high response times nearly 100 seconds where it is getting low response times with 1 and 10 users, have added client execution delays, think time and pacing as well. is there any some specific setting to mimic the real load on to the application. what is the recommendation to get the appropriate response times for the transactions
