Load Level and Test Duration
On the Load Level and Test Duration page of
New Test Scenario Wizard,
you can specify the number of virtual users participating in test run and test duration.
You can set either a fixed user load, or perform a test where the number of virtual users is
gradually increasing until it reaches the specified maximum.
Fixed user
load
If you need to make a fixed load on a tested server, you can specify
a constant number of users that will be active during the whole
test run. All users will start simultaneously at the beginning of
the test.
Ramp-up: users from _ to _
If you wish to perform a test where the number of users is gradually
increasing, you should select the option with ramp-up number of
users and specify the initial and final values of interval and some
step. You can also set a delay between virtual users. Users will
start one by one with the specified delay between contiguous users.
The number of users will increase gradually until it reaches the
specified maximum.
The value of fixed user load or the final number of users in ramp-up interval
defines the total number of users of all profiles that will participate
in test run. You will be able to change the number of users belonging
to each profile later, after completion of this Wizard
in Test Volume view.
In trial version of WAPT, the maximum number of virtual users
is limited to 20. In registered version of the product, this number is unlimited.
Test duration: Specify the duration of test run
(time format is hours : minutes : seconds).
