Is that right? I thought response time was the time from user input to completed response.
I'm not sure (I found parts of the article hard to parse), but I got the impression that author's generator won't generate a new request until the previous one is complete. That's not how I'd write a generator.
Also, it seems odd that the test-rig would discard responses that arrive outside of the test window. Surely it should record all responses to requests that were emitted during the window, even if they arrive outside the window?
- cassianoleal 4y ago> Is that right? I thought response time was the time from user input to completed response. You're right. In fact, that's how the Gil Tene defines it in the linked talk. It's essentially service time + wait time.
- denton-scratch 4y agoPlus network queueing time: oh, I guess that's rolled into wait time.
- cassianoleal 4y agoYes, wait time from the point-of-view of the user, so everything that's not actual service time between time of request and fulfilled response.
