OK listen up, I've been struggeling with JMeter for a while and done some tests, but one thing still confuses me. You get nice looking graphs containing Data, Average and Deviation. I suppose that Data stands for a sample's Round Trip Time (RTT) and Average for the average RTT value, BUT Deviation? What kind of deviation is it. I have hard to believe that is it standard deviation due to some factors. But the most obvious one, if you spam a server until is starts dropping packets the Average and Deviation grows bigger, right? (In most casese anyway) If the Deviation is Standard Deviation how on earth can the same amount of samples appear below the average value as above. Example: (the number are just made up for visual purpose)
Data: Average: Diviation: 200 106 106 98 106 106 100 106 106 99 106 106 99 106 106 300 106 106 98 106 106 98 106 106 This is a scenario that happens most of the time. The Data values are concentrated round the average and some samples takes way longer time than the average one. Please say that the diviation isn't a standard diviation. I would like to use a chi-square distribution to approx. the samples. If you know what distribution that is used, please let me know... //Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
