The Application Performance Index (Apdex) score quantifies user satisfaction with the performance of web applications and services. It converts various response times into a single score ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating perfect satisfaction and 0 representing complete dissatisfaction. By default, Applicare uses the average response time of transactions as its Desired response time(T).

Each transactions is classified as follows:

  • Satisfied: Response times less than or equal to T.
  • Tolerating: Response times between T and 4T.
  • Frustrated: Response times greater than 4T.

The Apdex Score is calculated using the formula:

Apdex Score = (Satisfied Count + (Tolerating Count / 2)) / Total Count

You can configure the Apdex threshold for individual transactions in Applicare console by navigating to Home-> User Experience -> Settings -> Apdex Configuration screen.

The Apdex score for all the transactions can be viewed under User Experience -> Transaction summary.

If no Apdex threshold is set for a transaction, then average response time of that transaction will be used as the default threshold.
