Analyzing results (Gatling Recorder)

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hi everyone,

Question:

When analyzing the results drawn using the Gatling Recorder, is it okay to remove the lines with unnecessary resources (such as the ones that load image files, js scripts) and checks (such as .check(status.is(304)) before executing the script?
Will it have effects on the results (or response times of other resources)?

Some of these “unnecessary” lines of resources often lead to unnecessary errors. All I need is to get the response time of a particular process in the scenario.

Thanks in advance and regards. :slight_smile:

Personally, I tend to quickly test static resource handling (usually just a matter of bandwidth, and possibly not a concern if you serve from a CDN) and remove them from the tests and focus on the “real” application that’s more likely hit a bottleneck (backed by database or webservice).
