Load Testing · Middle · Question 5 of 76
What does a non-zero dropped_iterations metric tell you in an arrival-rate test?
- 1k6 had no free VU to start an iteration, so the target rate wasn't reached
- 2The server closed connections, so k6 retried those iterations
- 3Some iterations failed checks and were removed from the results
Show the answer
Correct answer: k6 had no free VU to start an iteration, so the target rate wasn't reached
Explanation
If all VUs are busy and maxVUs is reached, k6 skips iterations. Raise maxVUs or note that the system was too slow to keep the rate.
