Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. This guide is intended for test managers.
Reports and counters
After the tests or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and open the reports to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics.
HTTP counters
HTTP counters, which are displayed in the Performance Test Runs view, enable you to customize your reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.
Byte counters
These counters provide throughput information regarding the rate and the number of bytes sent and received during a sample interval and during a run.

- Evaluating results in web analytic reports
  After the test run, evaluate the results in the web analytic reports. Web analytics collect data using new technologies thereby providing better user experience.
- Logs overview
  Rational® Performance Tester uses logs to store different types of information, which you can use to determine the reason for a test failure.
- Reports and counters
  After the tests or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and open the reports to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics.
  - Requirements report
    The Performance Requirements report is renamed to Requirements report. The Requirements report validates the performance and functional requirements that you set in a test or in a schedule.
  - Synchronization Point report
    This report provides information about the synchronization points in test runs and lets you manually release a user from a synchronization point. To release a user, right-click in the report and select Manage Synchronization Points.
  - Loops report
    This report summarizes the functionality of loops in a test.
  - Agents Health Report
    With the Agents Health Report, you can view the usage data of CPU, Memory, Threads, and JVM Heap for the agent machines involved in the run. The report shows usage data for the Agent Host and Agent Process on the agent machines. By default, the Enable Agent Health Report check box at Window > Preferences > Test > Test Execution is selected. Also, by default, the report opens in the Compare mode. You cannot disable the compare mode.
  - Rate Runner report
    You can use the Rate Runner report to view how all the Rate Runner groups in the Rate Schedule have performed during the run.
  - Transaction report
    This report summarizes the success of transactions in the run, plots on a graph the response trend of each transaction during a specific sample interval, and shows the transaction throughput.
  - Transaction Percentile report
    This report shows the 85th, 90th, and 95th percentile elapsed times for all users, the union of all transactions in a run, and for the 10 slowest transactions in a run.
  - Transaction Net Server Time Percentile report
    This report shows the 85th, 90th, and 95th percentile net server times for all users and the union of all transactions in a run. The report also shows the 10 slowest transactions in a run. The net server time corresponds to the cumulative server response times within a transaction. Net server time does not include think times and delays, which are included in the elapsed time.
  - Rate Generator report
    Use this report to determine if the transactions run at the rate that you specify.
  - HTTP performance test reports
    When you test an HTTP system, reports are produced during a run and saved after a run. You can then analyze the reports to know the performance of the system under test.
  - SAP performance test reports
    When you test an SAP application, these performance test reports are produced during a run and saved after a run.
  - Citrix performance test reports
    When you test a Citrix XenApp application, these reports are produced during a run and saved after a run.
  - Web service performance test reports
    When you test a web service, these reports are produced during a run and saved after a run.
  - Socket performance test reports
    When you test a socket application, these performance test reports are produced during a run and saved after a run.
  - HTTP counters
    HTTP counters, which are displayed in the Performance Test Runs view, enable you to customize your reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.
    - Byte counters
      These counters provide throughput information regarding the rate and the number of bytes sent and received during a sample interval and during a run.
    - Page counters
      These counters provide information about page attempts, page hits, response time, response success, and verification points. Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for several pages are rolled up into one value; others produce values for each page.
    - Run counters
      These counters provide information about the active users in the run, the users that have completed the run, and the HTTP status codes that were received.
    - Test counters
      These counters provide information about the execution time of the tests in a run. Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for all tests are rolled up into one value; others produce individual values for each test.
    - Transaction counters
      These counters provide information about transactions that were attempted, transactions that were completed, and the elapsed time for the transactions. Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for all transactions are rolled up into one value; others produce individual values for each transaction.
  - SAP counters
    SAP generic counters, which are displayed in the Performance Test Runs view, enable you to customize your SAP reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.
  - Citrix counters
    Citrix generic counters, which are displayed in the Performance Test Runs view, enable you to customize your Citrix reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.
  - Service counters
    Service counters, which are displayed in the Test Runs view, enable you to customize your service test reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.
  - Socket counters
    With socket generic counters, which are displayed in the Performance Test Runs view, you can customize your socket reports with dynamic information that is updated for each run.

Byte counters

These counters provide throughput information regarding the rate and the number of bytes sent and received during a sample interval and during a run.

The counters in the following tables provide an aggregate value for all tests. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on them: folder icon with a clock superimposed .

Run > Throughput
Counter name	Description
Bytes Received [for Run]	The total number of bytes received for all tests for the entire run
Bytes Sent [for Run]	The total number of bytes sent for all tests for the entire run

Run > Throughput > Bytes Received
Counter name	Description
Count [for Interval]	The total number of bytes received for all tests within the most recent sample interval
Rate [per second] [for Interval]	The bytes per second received for all tests within the most recent sample interval
Rate [per second] [for Run]	The bytes per second received for all tests for the entire run

Run > Throughput > Bytes Sent
Counter name	Description
Count [for Interval]	The total number of bytes sent for all tests within the most recent sample interval
Rate [per second] [for Interval]	The bytes per second sent for all tests within the most recent sample interval
Rate [per second] [for Run]	The bytes per second sent for all tests for the entire run
