Viewing adjustments to page response
times
To see the adjustments to page response times that are
measured during a test run or a schedule run, open the test log for
that run.
About this task
Starting with
Rational® Performance Tester Version
8.1.1, HTTP page response times are adjusted for increased accuracy
by using advanced techniques to exclude processing time that is not
related to the server under test. Other measurements, such as page
element response times, are not affected.
Procedure
- In the Test Navigator, right-click the run, and then click Display
Test Log. The test log opens, displaying
the Overview page.
- Click the Events tab.
- Expand the elements in the Events hierarchy,
and navigate to the page that contains the adjustment.
- The last element for an HTTP page is the page stop event.
Select the page stop event. Under Extended
Properties, the rtaa property is
the adjustment to the page response time, in milliseconds, made to
exclude processing time that is unrelated to the server under test.

- Streamlined Eclipse and full Eclipse overview
When you work in the streamlined Eclipse mode, only those
functions that are directly related to the product are enabled in
the workbench. When you install the product, by default, the check
box to use the streamlined Eclipse mode is selected. With the full
Eclipse mode, you have access to all Eclipse functions.
- Creating a test workbench project
The tests that you create,
and the assets associated with the tests, reside in a test workbench
project. You can create the project separately, or you can simply
record a test, which automatically creates a project named testproj.
