My opinon and use (for report and SLA but not for troubleshooting) of TC is to hide requests and work with "functional" requests
For example if my login process take 3 requests, in my report I want to show the response time of the response time TC and not of the 3 requests Same if I want to compare 2 releases (e.g in release 1 I have 3 requests to make the login and in release 2, I have only 2 requests. In this example it's easiest to compare TC) To troubleshooting, I need to have response time/code return... of each request Antonio 2016-09-07 14:15 GMT+02:00 Philippe Mouawad <philippe.moua...@gmail.com>: > On Wednesday, September 7, 2016, Antonio Gomes Rodrigues <ra0...@gmail.com > > > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > See my answer below > > > > 2016-09-06 21:28 GMT+02:00 Philippe Mouawad <philippe.moua...@gmail.com > > <javascript:;>>: > > > > > Hello, > > > I commited few minutes ago the implementation of a new Graph in the > HTML > > > report: > > > - https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60091 > > > > > > As always feedback is welcome. > > > But I have 2 questions: > > > 1/ on how percentile should be computed. > > > For now percentile is computed per each time period as defined by > > > granularity, starting from nothing for each time period. > > > Should we instead take the last percentile computed for previous time > > > period or proceed differently ? > > > > > > > No opinion > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 2/ Should we exclude Transaction Controller from computation ?
