2 minutes readKey takeaways Pick the KPIs before the comparison, or you will choose the ones that flatter the new build. Compare against a stored baseline rather than memory of the last run. Change one thing between builds if you want the comparison to mean anything. Ensuring your web application’s performance improves or remains consistent over time… Read more »
2 minutes readKey takeaways Latency is travel time; response time is latency plus server processing. Confusing the two leads to optimising code when the problem is distance. Measure from where users are, since latency is a property of the route. Let’s say that you want to access a web service or a web page. The response time… Read more »

6 minutes readKey takeaways JMeter is free, Java-based, and runs on any OS, which makes it the usual starting point. Build the test plan around a thread group, a sampler and a listener; everything else is refinement. Run real tests headless. The GUI is for building the plan, not for load generation. Apache JMeter is an open… Read more »
7 minutes readKey takeaways Throughput is completed requests per unit of time, and it plateaus before response time does. A rising response time with flat throughput means you have found capacity. Report it with response time; either number alone can be made to look good. Throughput is the metric that tells you how much work a system… Read more »
2 minutes readKey takeaways Response time covers the whole round trip, from request sent to the application reporting it done. An average hides the slow tail, so report the median with a percentile beside it. A response time only means something next to the load and environment that produced it. Response Time Response Time measures the performance… Read more »
