In other words, it tells us if the requests that occur during the test are consistent or not. Standard Deviation measures how the response times are spread out around the average response time (mean). A… Read more »

Standard Deviation and Percentiles in Load Testing Metrics
< 1 minute read Standard deviation and percentiles are very helpful when comes to calculating the response times in a load test or a performance test. Standard deviation is just like it sounds: the routine deviation around the average. Standard Deviation can then be used as a gauge of longer response times. For normal distributions, we know that roughly… Read more »
