Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Response time is the time interval between an action and its result or response. This includes both the time taken by the system to process the request and the time taken to transfer the response back to the user's workstation. Turn-around time refers to the time taken for a particular task to complete from start to finish, which may include other processing steps besides user input. Think time refers to the time a user spends thinking or processing information before entering any input. Delay time is a more general term that does not specifically refer to user input and can be caused by various factors in the system.
