Measuring End-user Response Time
Check how long it takes for the user to perform a business process and receive a
response from the server. For example, suppose that you want to verify that while
your system operates under normal load conditions, the end users receive
responses to all requests within 20 seconds. The following graph presents a
sample load vs. response time measurement for a banking application:
Defining Optimal Hardware Configuration
Check how various system configurations (memory, CPU speed, cache, adaptors,
modems) affect performance. Once you understand the system architecture and
have tested the application response time, you can measure the application
response for different system configurations to determine which settings provide
the desired performance levels.
