Inserting a synchronization point enables you to coordinate the
activities of a number of virtual users by pausing and resuming activities.
You can synchronize all virtual users at the beginning of a schedule and stagger
the release times so that the users do not overload the system. Synchronization
points are also useful in stress testing.
About this task
You can insert a synchronization point into a schedule or a test.
The advantage of inserting a synchronization point into a schedule is that
the synchronization point is more visible than in a test. Also, you can define
release options and select a timeout for a synchronization point set in a
schedule.
Synchronization points within loops are not
reset. In other words, once a synchronization point has been released (in
the first iteration of a loop) it stays released for all further iterations.
