Absolute Reports
Absolute reports display the actual values of the response times, in seconds. The final
line of the report gives the arithmetic sum of the response times.
To define an Absolute report:
s
Click
Reports > New > Compare Performance
, and then select the
Absolute data
values
and the
Individual sample data
options.
The following figure shows the last few lines of an Absolute report:
Weighted Absolute Reports
Weighted Absolute reports weigh response times by their frequency of occurrence
and are useful for comparing total response times.
To define a Weighted Absolute report:
s
Click
Reports > New > Compare Performance
, and then select the
Absolute data
values
and the
Weighted by count of base report samples
options.
The weight applied is equal to the number of valid responses for that command ID in
each report. If the command IDs in the reports have a different number of responses,
TestManager uses the smallest nonzero number as the weight.
The weighted absolute value is the product of this weight and the absolute value for
the response time. The final line of the weighted absolute Compare Performance
report gives the arithmetic sum of the weighted response times for each report.
