This section contains detailed definitions of the measurements displayed on the Reports tab, including explanations of how the measurements are calculated.
The Interpreting Test Measurements section contains general information about reports and measurements and special notes regarding the calculations used in measurement collection.
Measurement definitions are grouped together in topics according to their report tab, and further categorized by message counters, error counters, and session measurements.
All measurements do not appear in all cases. Some measurements are dynamically added to the report when the event that they track occurs, and some measurements only appear in certain tests or test configurations. The conditions under which a measurement is available are noted in the definition, along with any conditions that cause a difference in the way the measurement is calculated. The test case topics in the Test Applications section list the measurements available with each test case.
| NOTE: To assist with query measurements by name (for Tcl API users) and setup Pass/Fail Criterion, the measurement names displays as follows. For example, L5-7 Streaming now displays as Streams Bandw...(more) |
Each defined measurement displays a second level of grouping for measurements. That is, each test case defined measurement is shown multiple times on sub-category tabs.
For example, for the Data Traffic measurements on L3, L4, and L5 tabs are displayed on sub tabs by protocol or DMF instance. The L5-7 tabs display only, Basic and Advanced protocols. There will be no measurements at just the L5-7 level.
A sub tab is a predefined fixed tab of measurements that displays below a top level tab. That is, they are displayed under the L5-7 tabs, where Basic, Advanced, and eDMF protocol-specific sub tabs display.
To access these sub tabs, click L5-7 Client|Basic, L5-7 Client|Advanced, L5-7 Client|Http, etc…. The sub tabs do not have a top level tab, for example, L5-7 Client tab does not display, L5-7 Client|Common sub tab displays.
A sub total tab is a tab of measurements that represents the per session, per bearer, per dmf, per bearer, and so on, for any set of measurements or tabs. The TS reports sub total names and measurement values at runtime, and the TAS basically prepares copies of ALL measurements defined by the test case. The TAS displays the values reported by the TS.
| NOTE: For example, to access a sub total tab, click the subtotal name reported by the TS, that is, DMF_0, Bearer_1, MN_3, Sess_2, etc. Also, sub tabs may report sub totals, e.g., the Basic data measurements for the second DMF in the TC: L5-7|Basic, subtotal DMF_1. When a sub total tab is reported, all the measurements display on a Totals sub tab in the GUI. Use Report Options to select test cases measurements, however, some test cases may report these values automatically. |
