Page counters
Overview
These counters provide information about...
- page attempts
- page hits
- response time
- response success
- verification points
Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for several pages are rolled up into one value; others produce values for each page.
Aggregate counters use the values for all the pages in a test to produce a single value for a report. This value is rolled up from all values that satisfy the counter.
When you drag an aggregate counter onto a report, one value is displayed. Folders containing aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on the folder icon: 
.
The tables below that list aggregate counters have this icon in their title.
Individual counters produce values for each item that satisfies the counter, rather than a single rolled-up value. Folders containing individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on the folder icon: 
.
The tables below that list individual counters have this icon in their title.
Some counters pertain to intervals in the run. You set the Statistics sample interval value in the schedule, as a schedule property.
Attempt counters
When an attempt refers to a page, it means that the primary request was sent; it does not include requests within the page.
When an attempt refers to a page element, it means that a request was sent.

Response Time counters
Response time counters omit page response times for pages containing requests with status codes in the range of 4XX (client errors) to 5XX (server errors). The only exception is when the failure (for example, a 404) is recorded and returned, and the request is not the primary request for the page. Page response times which contain requests that time out are always discarded.

Status Code Success counters
A status code success means that the response code verification point passed for that request. If the request has no verification points, a success means that the server received a request and returned a response where the status code was in the 200 or 300 category, or returned an expected response in the 400 or 500 category.

Verification Point counters
The verdict for a verification point can be...
- Pass
- Fail
- Error
- Inconclusive
| Pass | All verification points matched or received the expected response.
For example, a response code verification point is set to PASS when the recorded response code is received during playback. If test does not contain verification points, PASS means that the connection succeeded. |
| Fail | At least one verification point did not match the expected response or the expected response was not received. |
| Error | Indicates one of the following results:
|
| Inconclusive | Set only if you provide custom code that defines a verdict of Inconclusive. |
