Exclude Failed Transactions

Failed transactions can either increase the response time in case of a session timeout error or decrease the response time in the case of an error returned immediately. For more accurate response time information, you can filter out failed transactions in the report to see results only for transactions that have passed.

This feature is only available to eligible BlazeMeter Enterprise customers.

If you have failure criteria defined, you can see the status of each failure criterion, without the effect of the errors (however, the overall Test status will not change). The filter can be applied also in the Compare Report screen and in the Trend Charts screen.

When selection is not possible, such as for the test results email, the default (failed and passed transactions) is shown.

  • The filter only applies on test runs executed after the feature has been released and provided that the Exclude Failed Transaction flag has been opened for the account.
  • This filter does not apply to virtual users.

Exclude Failed Transactions from a Test Report

In the report, select whether you want the test report data to include the failed transactions. By default, the results of all transactions (failed and passed) are shown. Because you are filtering on the report level, the filter affects all relevant report data and tabs (Summary, Timeline Report, Request Stats and Failure Criteria).

The transaction filter applies to multi-test reports as well.
