Hi,

I am new to Performance Test and i have few question regard to Load Test result.

1) I have recorded a web test containing a list of http url and I have group a subset of it as "Transaction 01". When I view the "Tables", there is Pages and Transaction Tab. The "Transaction 01" url is shown in Transaction tab and individual http url is display in "Pages" Tab. Can anyone explain why it is showing in "Pages" even though I have indicate the group of http url as "Transaction"

2) What is the different between Pages and Transaction Tab?

3) Can I hide the list of individual URL group as "Transaction 01" in the Pages Tab?

Thanks,

    Hi @HAN MING ONG ,

    Could you please share some screenshots with me to check this issue?

    Also, here is the explanation of Pages and Transactions table in the load test.

    “Pages: Displays a list of pages accessed during a load test run. Some data in this table is available only after a load test has completed. For more information, see How to: View web page response.”

    “Transactions: Displays a list of transactions that occurred during a load test run. For more information, see The Transactions table in this topic.”

    Besides, the Transaction is nothing but a group of requests in web test, the Pages is web pages that accessed. So, the URLs you mentioned should be recognized as requests, and the URLs that displayed in Pages Tab should be recognized as pages(response). As if you see the Summary Tab, there are Page Results and Transaction Results lists, and the Page Results lists all of the web pages in the load test and Transaction Results lists all of the transactions in the load test. I think this is caused by different classifications.

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu
