How to read Graphs generated for Load test

[abhishek813]

I have executed load test using SoapUI. The report generated have graphs. Could you please explain how to read these graphs. (screenshot attached)
Thanks

Hi!

Can you add a screenshot for the actual LoadTest window after the LoadTest has been run so we can see the statistics table?

Here is the graph with stats

Hi!

thanks..
- the first graph shows the avg response time (red) vs number of threads (blue)
- the second graph shows the number of errors (red) vs number of threads (blue)
- the third graph shows the avg number of bytes-per-second (red) vs number of threads (blue)
- the fourth graph shows the avg number of transactions-per-second (red) vs number of threads (blue)

does that make sense?

regards!

Ok, Another question....

in the first graph, the axis on the left is for Average and the one on the right is for Thread then what is the bottom axis for?

Ole,

Just catching up on this issue myself. Could you add to this enhancement request not only the time but the date. It makes for more understandable/accurate reports.

Thanks,

Is this bug fixed? I am running my actual PTs and having difficulty relating the time axis to the actual duration the test ran.

btw i am using SOAPUI Pro 3.5.1

Please advice.
