Throughput vs. Latency

18 August, 2008 – 6:03 pm

When/if I am asked to conduct interviews again for potential performance test analysts, I think I will include this question in my repertoire to suss out those in the know, and those just, um, pretending …

Here is a great analogy of throughput and latency. I don’t pretend to understand queuing theory (just yet), but am working on it ;)

  1. One Response to “Throughput vs. Latency”

  2. Hi Tim,

    I’m development a tool to generate a report from the Jmeter CSV results file.

    Jmeter could generate 2 different files, the file generate by all the listeners and the statics.csv file (generated by the aggregate graph).

    In both file I have different information, the problem that i have is exist any difference between “elapsed time” and “response time”?

    How I can use the metric “bytes” or “Kb/sec”?

    Thanks for all the information in your blog.

    Regards,

    Jose
