Page History

For instance, one can generate a graph of page load times v/s time for different operations (e.g.: login, add 1 line to the order, etc). A different series in the graph is needed for each operation type used - this can be quite painstaking to add to a graph when there is a lot of data.

The graphs generated can be quite useful in visualizing performance. See the graph below for an example of one such dummy website. The JMeter test that generated this data ran a normal load continually, and also ran two "surge loads" that were spread 10 minutes apart (done using a separate JMeter thread group).
