How to evaluate Jmeter Aggregare Report Results?

I am trying to conduct a performance test on my targeted web application. For this reason, as I search through, I realized I needed to use JMeter for this purpose. I had a test and used aggregate report which is as follows:

What I wonder is that Error rates are so high... I couldn't identify the problems. What would be the inference that I can insight from this result? The thread properties are as follows:

Solution

  • Aggregate Report doesn't tell the full story, you might want to use Response Code Per Second listener in combination with Active Threads Over Time, both can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager. Alternatively you can generate HTML Reporting Dashboard, in this case you won't have to install these plugins

    Given very small "min" response times and very high "max" response times I can assume that your application doesn't handle that amount of users very well, you might want to increase the duration of your test and ramp-up period in order to see where is the first bottleneck, I can think of the following stages:

    1. User number increases, throughput increases, response time remains the same (low)
    2. User number increases, throughput stays the same, response time starts increasing - this is the saturation point
    3. User number increases, throughput decreases, response time increases - performance bottleneck

    Once you have the numbers you will be able to report them.
