Hi Everyone,
So I have a TruClient Script with a 5 separate Actions. Everything runs fine from Vugen.
In Controller, I used the option "Define each action and step as a transaction". Which means that I have 5 transactions (apart from Init and End) from the Actions, and a number of others from each of the steps within the action.
I ran this scenario for just 1 vuser (for testing) and was looking at the results in Analysis. However, I found it curious that if you sum the timings for individual steps that make up an Action, it never reconciles back; the sum of timings for individual Steps is either greater or less than the timing for the complete Action. Keep in mind that I ran for only 1 vuser, so there are no Average Timings/Max/Mins distorting these figures (as they are all the same).
For example, Lets say Action_1 has 5 Steps - Step_1 through Step 5.
This is what I am seeing in my Analysis Summary:
Transaction Name Minimum Average Maximum
Transaction_Action_1 50 50 50
Transaction_Action_1_Step_1 15 15 15
Transaction_Action_1_Step_2 10 10 10
Transaction_Action_1_Step_3 20 20 20
Transaction_Action_1_Step_4 15 15 15
Transaction_Action_1_Step_5 5 5
As you can see, the timings for Step 1 through 5 add up to 65sec, whereas the overall transaction on the Action level says 50 secs.
Can somebody help us explain what's going on? I am sure there is a simple explanation - but I can't figure this one out and it's doing my head in!!
