Web Form Measures

The Web Form measure group contains the measure types related to forms declared in the dclform section of a load-test script. The Web Form measure group provides response time and throughput rates for form submissions with the POST, GET, and HEAD command sent by scripting function calls. For each form declared in the dclform section, a measure group is created automatically with the name of the form as the key. The following table describes the corresponding measure types:

Measure Description
Server busy time Measure, in seconds, that starts after the user has sent the complete request and ends when the user receives the first part of the response.
Round trip time The time, in seconds, that it takes to send a request and receive the appropriate response. It also includes the connect and shutdown time when the connection is not persistent (the connection can persist if the Keep-Alive option is enabled or HTTP/1.1 is used).
Hits The number of successful form submissions.
Request data sent The amount of data (in KB) sent to the Web server during submission of a form. This measure also includes HTTP header and body content information. The count specifies the number of Web server requests sent.
Response data received The amount of data (in KB) received from the Web server in response to the submission of a form. This measure also includes HTTP response header and body content information. The count specifies the number of Web server responses received.
