Time to First Byte Graph

1. Open the desired Report item (if it is not open yet). To do that, expand the test log item node under the Project_Name Logs folder in the Project Explorer and double-click its child Report node.

2. In the Report panel, select the Response Time tabbed page.

3. Expand the Time to First Byte section.

To view the graphs and charts shown in the Report panel, install Flash Player 8 or later for Windows Internet Explorer on your computer. You can download the latest version of the player from the Adobe web site:

With Virtual Users Page

Scroll Chart Page

Chart by Region Page

The graph on this page shows the time to first byte and the number of virtual users at any moment of the test run.

The thin line, Max. Time to First Byte, represents the maximum time to first byte for all the requests that LoadComplete was simulating at that moment.

The thick line, Time to First Byte, represents the average time to first byte for all the requests that LoadComplete was simulating at that moment.

If the average and maximum values are equal, the graph shows only the average values.

You can show and hide individual graph lines by clicking the line name in the graph legend.

To see the exact value of a metric at a specific moment, hover the mouse pointer over the needed data point on the graph - a tooltip showing the metric value will appear.

To see detailed information on requests simulated at a specific moment, click the needed data point on the graph. The graph will show the list of request simualted at that moment, their server think time, status and so on in a popup window.

Printing the Contents of the Report Panel

Note that LoadComplete shows the data shown in the graph in the tabular format. An appropriate table is shown under the Time to First Byte graph when you start printing the contents of the Report panel, that is, when you click Print on the panel's toolbar.

The above-mentioned table contains the following columns:

This page contains a graph that represents the value of the Time to first byte metric at any moment of the test run. A sample view of the graph is as follows:

Note that the graph includes only the exact values of the Time to first byte metric obtained during the test run (these values are shown on the Runtime > Graphs page of the project at runtime).

You can zoom this graph in and out. You can also select the desired area of the graph and then overlay it with another area. For more information on working with scroll graphs, see Working With Scroll Graphs.

This page contains a table that represents the data of the graphs displayed on the With Virtual Users page. For a detailed description of its columns, refer to the description of the graphs.

This tab is not visible in LoadComplete. To view its contents, export your test results to an external file.
