I agree. I'm the original developer on the aggregate report - and I just
had room in the table for some other number. :) Actually, every time I
pull from CVS - I end up changing it to something real as you suggest
myself anyways before I use them -- I just never thought to retract my
own work like that. :) 

Feel free to change this if nobody has real issues.

Subject: "Rate" in aggregate report listener


Hi.

I just can't understand what's the meaning of the "Rate" field in the 
Aggregate Report listener. I know the equivalen discussion arose a while

ago for the Graph Results, but I've been re-reading all the e-mails in 
that thread and I'm still clueless.

This rate is calculated as

    Number of threads / Latency

and I just can't find which 'physical' dimension this is measuring. 
Sounds like a "the rate we would obtain if we were hitting the server 
with this request only, but not increasing the load beyond the current 
one". Somewhat nonsense -- at least to me. Is there anyone to whom it
does?

I'm keen to replace this with the real load we're putting on the server:

  request count divided by test duration. This is a figure I very often 
need when load-testing applications, since I can then make statements in

the lines of "this box can produce N pages per second with latencies of 
X ms".

Comments?

Salut,

Jordi.
