title: Meaning of terms after analysis in Locust Load Testing
body: <p>I am using <strong>Locust (Modern Open Source Load Testing Tool)</strong> for Load testing of APIs.<br />
  As it is <code>simulation + analysis</code> tool, I am not able to understand some of the terms.<br />
  Below is the screen-shot of the test which I have done on the API.</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sAU2k.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sAU2k.png" alt="Test Run" /></a></p>
  <p>Terms I want to know about:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>The relationship between <code>Number of users to simulate Vs Hatch Rate (Users Spawned/Second)</code>.</li>
  <li>From the above image, the meaning of <code>Median (ms), Average (ms), Content Size(bytes)</code>.</li>
  <li><code>min_wait, max_wait</code>, the name of the variables which we override with own values in the <code>WebsiteUser(HttpLocust)</code> class, the significance of min_wait, max_wait.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Next, in the <code>Charts</code> tab, Locust shows 3 graphs, namely <code>(Total Requests/Second, Response Time (ms), Number of Users)</code>.<br />
  Not able to make sense of this charts,<br />
  In <code>Total Requests/Second</code>, should I look at peaks with respect to time as it is <code>Number of Users Vs Time Graphs</code>?<br />
  How do I make sense of all the charts?</p>
  <p>Thank You.<br />
  Its a broad question, but I need to know about this terms, as for better understanding of the graphs, data which I get after doing the analysis.</p>
