the number of thread = \'500 \'
ramp up period = \'1\'

Sample             


        

Answer 1

Short explanation looks like:

1. Sample - number of requests sent
2. Avg - an Arithmetic mean for all responses (sum of all times / count)
3. Minimal response time (ms)
4. Maximum response time (ms)
5. Deviation - see Standard Deviation article
6. Error rate - percentage of failed tests
7. Throughput - how many requests per second does your server handle. Larger is better.
8. KB/Sec - self expalanatory
9. Avg. Bytes - average response size
