Hi Tim,
I’m development a tool to generate a report from the Jmeter CSV results file.
Jmeter could generate 2 different files, the file generate by all the listeners and the statics.csv file (generated by the aggregate graph).
In both file I have different information, the problem that i have is exist any difference between “elapsed time” and “response time”?
How I can use the metric “bytes” or “Kb/sec”?
Thanks for all the information in your blog.
Regards,
Jose
