Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Transactions completed	Returns the total number of transactions that have been completed by this server	Number
Transaction rollbacks	Returns the total number of transactions that have been rolled back by this server	Number	A high rollback rate indicates a problem with specific beans. Possible reasons for this could be problems with the design and implementation of the specific bean or problems with any of the dependent servers of the bean (e.g., database server).
Transactions in flight	Returns the total number of transactions that are currently in progress	Number	A significantly high value may denote a load on the server. This may indicate that specific transactions are taking too long to process requests.
