| Popis: | One problem with load test quality, almost always overlooked, is the potential for the load generator's user thread pool to sync up and dispatch queries in bunches rather than independently from each other like real users initiate their requests. A spiky launch pattern misrepresents workload flow as well as yields erroneous application response time statistics. This paper describes what a real user request timing pattern looks like, illustrates how to identify it in the load generation environment, and exercises a free downloadable tool which measures how well the load generator is mimicking the timing pattern of real web user requests.
