Citrix response time percentile report

This report shows the 85th, 90th, and 95th percentile response times for all users in a run.
The default percentiles in this report, 85, 90, and 95, are sufficient for most purposes. However, if you are required to report on a different percentile set, click Window > Preferences > Test > Percentile Analysis Targets to change the percentiles in this report.

The Summary page shows a graph with three bars, which represent the 85th percentile, 90th percentile, and 95th percentile response times for all users in the run. For the 85th percentile bar, 85% of all users achieved the indicated response time or better. For the 90th percentile bar, 90% of all users achieved the indicated response time or better. And for the 95% percentile bar, 95% of all users achieved the indicated response time or better.

The 85%, 90%, and 95% pages show the response-time percentiles of the 10 slowest window events in the run. For example, if you click the tab for the 85th percentile, and the total for a page is 110 (the total is beneath each bar), you know that 85 percent of the response times for that window event are less than or equal to 110 milliseconds (ms).

This graph provides an overall idea of the response times for each window event. For example, the Response Time Measurements page of the Citrix performance report might indicate that a Login screen is one of the 10 slowest measurements. However, it is possible that one attempt was extremely slow, but the other attempts were within range. The Citrix response time percentile report shows which measurements have slow responses because they were slow in general, not because a few responses (out of many) were extremely slow.

The table beneath the graph provides more detailed information for each window event:
