Web Operating Systems Test
When measuring user experience with web applications, it would also help administrators to know which client operating systems are widely used for accessing the applications and whether bandwidth usage is impacted by the operating system in use. This way, administrators will be able to identify bandwidth-intensive operating systems and may firmly recommend that users not use clients running such incompatible operating systems. The Web Operating Systems test enables administrators make such recommendations. This test auto-discovers the operating systems used by clients and reports the requests received and bandwidth consumed per operating system. In the process, the test points to the most popular and the most bandwidth-intensive operating systems.
Target of the test : Citrix NetScaler Web Insight
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every client operating system

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Hits: |
Indicates the number of requests received from clients running this operating system. |
Number |
Compare the value of this measure across operating systems to identify the most popular operating system. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the IP address and host name of the NetScaler ADC. |
Bandwidth: |
Indicates the total amount of data received from clients running this operating system. |
KB |
Compare the value of this measure across operating systems to know which operating system has been consistently consuming more bandwidth than the rest. |
Render time: |
Indicates the elapsed time, from when clients running this operating system start to receive the first byte of a response until either all page content has been rendered or the page load action has timed out. |
msecs |
Compare the value of this measure across operating systems to know which OS is seeing the maximum page rendering time. |
Use the detailed diagnosis of the Hits measure to know the IP address and host name of the NetScaler ADC in question.
