Application Response Measurement support
The Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard helps
measure the end-to-end transaction performance of an application, including service levels and
response time. Functional Tester uses the response time breakdown to view the statistics that is
captured while running a test.
Response time breakdown
Response time breakdown is a type of application monitoring
that shows how much time was spent in each part of the system under
test. The response time breakdown view shows the "insides" of the
system under test.
To capture response time breakdown data, you must enable it in Functional Tester. The data
collection infrastructure collects response time breakdown data. Each host on which the application
runs and from which you want to collect data must have the data collection infrastructure installed
and running.
Note: Ensure that you use a compatible version of the response time breakdown tool such
as IBM®
Tivoli® Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) for Functional
Tester to integrate with ARM. For information about using the response time break down tool and the
versions, refer the respective product information centre.
