It's possible that your vusers are sharing session objects. You may have uncovered a security risk.

It shows that the application is not able to withstand the load and hence the response time is getting degraded. It needs tuning to be done.

Response Time
There is an application which is having a response time of 2.5 seconds. After a minor hotfix, the response time increased to 4 seconds. If you need to provide a report to the client. What is the analysis you make in such a situation?
papayamilkshake
- Jun 21st, 2008
Agreed on giving two different set of results, with and without the hotfix.? You can also do a verification run and advise the user the impact on performance after the hotfix is been implemented.? This goes back to what is the intention of the report to the user.-papayamilkshake
seenu_anand
- Jun 13th, 2008
It would be good if you provide both the response time with and with out the Hotfix.This would be a comparision and the client can think whether to include that Hotfix or not.
