Hi all, We are building a test plan where we are attempting to use a duration assertion to validate that responses are completing with 2000ms. This works well without the "Retrieve All Embedded resources from HTML files" option in the HTTP Request Defaults. However if we enable this option then we get a very large number of failures despite browsing manually shows pages loading in less than a second. We have included a cache manager to simulate browser caching behaviour of static resources.
In the duration assertion we have the "Apply to:" option set to "Main sample only". From reading the documentation it seems that using this setting the duration assertion should only be measuring the response time of the primary resource (html page) being requested and not all the embedded resources as well. However, this doesn't match up with what we are seeing in practice. E.g. the main sample might take only 200ms (looking at browser tools and IIS logs) but the 2000ms duration assertion still fails. Is this a bug, a misunderstanding on our part, or have we just not configured the test plan correctly? Any thoughts / advice will be much appreciated!
