STATISTICAL METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TAKING PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating the performance of a computing system, comprising:
- receiving a first sampling of a computer system performance measurement;
determining a set of descriptive statistics and key ratios from the first sampling; and
determining whether the first sampling of the computer system performance measurement is a perturbed sampling by evaluating the set of descriptive statistics and key ratios.

Abstract
A method of determining a performance characteristic of a system is accomplished through the use of descriptive statistics and key ratios. A predetermined amount of measurements are taken to test a system performance characteristic. The measurements are compiled and descriptive statistics and key ratios are determined from the measurements. The descriptive statistics and key ratios are analyzed to determine if a satisfactory measurement of the system performance was determined. If a satisfactory measurement for the system performance was not determined, additional measurements are taken until the descriptive statistics and key ratios indicate a satisfactory measurement for the system performance was determined. Once a satisfactory measurement for the system performance is determined, the value is recorded and stored.
