All test results graphs include the performance of the platform during the logoff and power on of the virtual machines after all users log off when the test run has completed. The different phases of the test cycle are displayed in the test results graphs later in this document as ‘Logon’, ‘Steady State’, ‘Logoff’, and ‘Power On’. All graphs have time on the X-axis and the metric displayed on the Y-axis.
