Report configuration: general parameters

Outfile

The name of the test run textual report file. Since MS Excel™ accepts data in Tab-Separated format used for the resulting report, the generated file has the xls extension, to avoid unneeded renaming.

Outfile can be set both in plain format and using the naming templates. The following macros can be used:

%s - the server setting of the General section;
%p - the port setting of the General section;
%r - the requests setting of the General section;
%c – the clients setting of the General section;
%f - the full name of the test script file;
%n - the name of the test script file (no extension);

Current date/time macros:

%y - year;
%m – month;
%d – day;
%t – hhmmss;

%% - the % character.

The default template for the file name is %n-%s-%cx%r.xls


Log

All the run results are written to the log file. Each virtual client produces a separate log file.

The comprehensive log of the Web Roller client run is created, including all requests, responses, redirects and the returned HTML code. If the response is obtained in chunked transfer encoding, it will be converted to normal presentation.


TimingMode

The mode of time measurement:

0WebTransaction, the time period between the last request byte sent and the last response byte received;
1ResponseTime, the server response time. Works only under HTTP/1.1. Time period between the last request byte sent and the first response byte received;
2RequestTime, full request processing time. Time period between the first request byte sent and the last response byte received.


NoDetails

Toggles whether to write to the report the time of individual requests or only the summary statistics. It is a good idea to turn off the details when measuring overall performance, i.e. when a precise value of Requests per second is required.


Appendresult

Upon launching the test script the results are either appended to the existing report file, or the existing file is replaced with the new one each time the test script is launched.


Showbadresults

Toggles whether to log the requests which lead to errors.

1 – write to the log;
0 – do not write to the log.


Sumredirecttime

Defines whether to add up request times for redirected requests:

0 – redirect times are not added, only the response time of the very first request is written to the report;
1 - redirect times are added, the total for all redirects is written in the report.
