Runtime Overview

NeoLoad – Runtime Overview

In the NeoLoad tool, the ‘Runtime’ section has a tab called ‘Runtime Overview’.  Provides general details about the test that is currently running.

the NeoLoad Runtime Overview feature, a useful tool for monitoring and analyzing the performance of your load tests. The Runtime Overview tab is located in the Runtime section of the NeoLoad tool and displays various statistics and graphs about the currently running test. You can use this feature to get a quick overview of test progress, performance indicators, errors, warnings, and load generator status.

Under this tab there are 4 subsections:

1. Runtime details
2. Real-time image
3. Test progress bar
4. Charge generators

Subsections of the maturity summary described

1. Runtime Information – This section provides real-time statistics for the started test that is now in progress and includes data such as:
   1. Scenario name: name of the running scenario.
   2. Start time: the start date and time of the scenario.
   3. Requests: The total number of requests made since the start of the test.
   4. Total Throughput: Total amount of data (in MB) received from the server.
   5. Total Errors: The total number of errors made during the exam since the beginning.
   6.  Total Warnings: The total number of warnings observed during the test since the start.
   7.  Total Users Started: The total number of virtual users started, including those still active, since the start of the test.
   8. Average response time (requests): Since the start of the test, the average response time for HTTP requests.
   9. Total Iterations Completed: Total number of times when the Actions Container has been executed since the test started.
   10. Average Response Time (requests): Average response time for HTTP requests since the test started
   11. Average Response Time (pages): Average response time for web pages since the test started.
   12. Average Requests/s: Average rate of requests since the test started.
   13. Average performance: Since the start of the test, the average performance.
   14. Current Response Time (requests): Average request response time for HTTP requests over the last second.
   15. Current Response Time (pages): Average request response time for web pages over the last second.
   16. Current Requests/s: Average Requests/sec. for HTTP requests over the last second.
   17. Current Throughput: Average throughput over the last second.
   18. Number of virtual users using Controller at any given time.
   19. CPU Load – The system running the controller has a high CPU load.
   20. Controller memory load: allocated to the controller program, memory used (in %).

2. Real-time image: To monitor the test, this dashboard displays live performance statistics. A graph shows the number of virtual users on the Y’ axis and errors or warnings on the Y’ axis. Another graph shows the average response time (in seconds) on the Y axis, the request rate on the Y’ axis, and the amount of time spent on the X axis.

3. Test Progress Bar – This shows the duration and progress of the test.

Figure:04

4. Load Generators: Shows data in tabular form for machine statistics.

• Host name for load generator (LG)
• Virtual Users: The number of Virtual Users that LG currently manages.
• Requests: The average number of requests generated by LG.
• The number of errors per second.
• CPU load: The CPU load of the LG host computer
• Memory assigned to the LG program: This shows the percentage of memory used. The document for NeoLoad version 7.10 states that 384 Mb of memory is the default allocation.
• The throughput of the network interface used by the load generator is measured in megabytes (MB) per second.
