Understanding Loadtest Results
The Results view is accessible for completed jobs and provides access to all information collected during a test run. It also allows you to compare different instances with each other:


Result Details
The Result Details tab contains a number of charts which provide metrics related to the performance of the Load Test. It displays the metrics for a specific Test Result within the Test Instance you are viewing. It contains a header which displays the Concurrent Users which were specified when the test was configured. It also displays the start and end times of the Test. Select the Test Result to view by selecting a number of users from the “Users” dropdown; the metrics displayed on the charts are specific to the test run which was selected. The charts can be manipulated to show or hide additional data, printed, or expanded to provide a better view of the chart; see Understanding Load Test Result Charts for more details.
The following screenshot shows metrics for a Test Result which ran a .class file with 2 users (the .class file name has been obfuscated). Response times can be compared to the number of Active Users - virtual users who have started but not yet finished the Test.
