The following illustrates a typical Robotic Response Time deployment:
The following test scripts are supported by Robotic Response Time:
After you set up robotic playbacks, Robotic Response Time can identify bottlenecks in the Client, Network or Server by breaking down response time data into segments, so that you can understand trends and system loads. The breakdown availability of the response time data is determined by the type of robotic scripts and the availability of metric definitions. The availability of breakdown for different robotic scripts is explained in the following table.
Robotic script type | Client time | Network time | Server time |
