All the metrics have very relative values and depend on many factors. 1. Response time: when many users log in to the site, the high value of response time (or page loading time) would be up to 3 seconds, low value – more than 4 seconds. 2. Load size depends on the amount of users, number of requests and the amount of requested data. The more these values are, the higher load size is. 3. Number of transactions passed/failed: ideally, all the transactions have to pass. 4. CPU utilization, Memory utilization: these metrics are monitored on the server and Load size directly affects them. Ideally, the server must have enough CPU and memory to cope with maximum load. 5. Throughput depends on throughput capacity between the server and the computer, and the responses should be optimized enough to deal with inquiries of thousands of users.

Thanks for the article, very detailed guide to prepare for load testing. I’m interested in metrics, I mean – what range of values is taken to be high, middle and low?
