SoapUI Load Test Result Interpretation

Overview:

This document provides information on how to interpret basic load test result charts generated by SoapUI

Report Breakdown:

Load test report is broken into following sections -

• Result Statistics
• Load Test Log
• Charts

Result Statistics:

Result statistics column details are as follows -

Column Name

Description

Min	The shortest time test step has taken (in milliseconds)
Max	The longest time test step has taken (in milliseconds)
Avg	The average time for test step (in milliseconds)
Last	The last time for test step (in milliseconds)
Cnt	The number of times test step has been executed
Tps	The number of transactions per second for test step  => TPS Calculation: (1000/avg) * user count.  For example, 100ms with 10 users will give a TPS of 100
Bytes	The number of bytes processed by the test step.
Bps	The bytes per second processed by the test step.  => BPS Calculation: (bytes/avg) * TPS, i.e. the average number of bytes per request.  For example, a total number of received bytes of 1000000 for 10 requests with a TPS of 100 would give (1000000/10)*100 = 10000000 BPS
Err	The number of assertion errors for the test step.
Rat	Failed request ratio (the percentage of request that failed)

Load Test Log:

This provides time information regarding when load test started and failed.
