Overview
Exit criteria allows users to set multiple criteria based on which the
test should exit, if one of the criterion is not met during the test execution.
This pro-active test methodology enables testers to set thresholds and
parameters during test configuration to ensure that the test results meet
all the defined requirements. If not attainable, then the test should
exit. This saves the total time required to conduct a test.
Exit Criteria Options
Following are the options available to exit the performance test:
Exit on Server Crash : Select
this option to exit the performance test, if the web-server crashes.
Exit if Test Duration exceeds specified
time : Select this option to exit the performance test, if the
test duration exceeds the specified time in seconds.
Exit if Response Time is not less than
specified millisecs for % of the time: Select this option to exit
the performance test, if the response time is not less than the specified
milliseconds for the specified percentile of the time. For example, if
the response time is given as 10 milliseconds for 95 % of the time. Then
the response time is sorted in ascending order from the lowest to the
highest. Assume there are 20 values, then find the 95th percentile value
(95/100*20=19). If this value is greater than 10 milliseconds, then exit
the test.
Exit if CPU% on Server exceeds specified
% : Select this option to exit the performance test, if the CPU
% of the specified server exceeds the specified CPU %. You can also configure
new server monitors and check the CPU % of the same. You can refer to
Configuring Server Monitoring document
for details.
