Performance Testing Tasks

A load test has been run. On reviewing the metrics, you find that the virtual users encountered many timeouts and excessive wait times. System-throughput metrics exceeded the expected results, including during peak periods.

Based on this analysis, what conclusion should be drawn?

Explanation

High throughput does not guarantee low network latency. A network path can carry substantial throughput while requests experience long round trips, delayed delivery, or timeouts; therefore, the network infrastructure should be investigated rather than attributing the result to slow processing.
