How do I interpret a Visit Time vs. Load (Includes Reading Times) graph?
The Visit Time vs. Load (Includes Reading Time) graph shows a plot of elapsed times for each visitor experience completed for a specific load level during your test. At each load level specified in the traffic pattern, the minimum, maximum and average elapsed visit times are plotted using a range bar. In addition, each visitor’s average time is plotted in blue ticks on the range bar. This data allows you to see the distribution and trends in average visit time as the load increases. Only data from simulated visits that began and ended within a load level are included in the graph. This minimizes the distortion in measured time that could be caused by visits that span an increase in load level. (Is that visit’s elapsed time counted in the lower or higher level?) Remember that the visit time includes the inter-page reading time, so the visit will not be completed any sooner than the sum of the minimum reading times and may take as long as the sum of the maximum reading times to complete.
