  • Patent number: 10067850
    Abstract: A method for real-time analysis of results from a load test performed on a target website includes calculating first-level aggregated test results within each of a plurality of load server instances that generate a load on the target website. The first-level aggregated test results are calculated from data points received by each of the load server instances from the target website. The first-level aggregated test results include a sum of the data points, a count of the number of the data points, a sum of squares of the data points, and an average of the data points. A standard deviation result (STDEV) is calculated and chart is generated on a display via a graphical user interface. The chart provides a visual representation of a performance metric for the load test based on the standard deviation result.
