Detailed Explanation

•   connect time: milliseconds until connection with the service could be established
•   response time: milliseconds until response was completely received
•   avg. connect time: avg time in milliseconds until connection with the service could be established (across all service)
•   avg. response time: avg time in milliseconds until response was received (across all service)
• The coloring of the lower bar in the graph indicates certain properties of the response during a particular availability check.
•   OK: We verified that the server correctly implements the SOAP protocol, however this does not mean that we have verified its actual functionality (such as a weather service).
•   connect error: we were unable to establish a connection to the server.
•   connect timeout: we have been able to contact the server, however within 20 seconds we could not establish a connection.
•   read timeout: the server took more then 20 seconds to send its response.
•   read error: we were able to connect the server, however for some reason we failed to read the response data.
•   malformed response: the server did not respond according to the SOAP protocol specification. Please not that the service still might provide some functionality, but it is likely that there exists some problem.
