Calculate an Average Elapsed Time

After performing a test, the Test Tool displays the amount of time the test took to run in the Elapsed Time field of the Command group box. Because of fluctuations in the system, averaging the elapsed time of multiple tests provides more accurate results.

To get an average elapsed time

1. In the Repeat Count field, specify the number of times you want to run the test.

   The Test Tool runs the test the specified number of times and then displays the total elapsed time.

2. Divide the elapsed time by the number of times the test was run to determine the average elapsed time.
