Adding a transaction to a test
A transaction is
a specific group of test elements whose performance you are interested
in. When viewing the test results, you can view performance data about
any transactions that you have added.
Adding conditional logic
You can insert IF-THEN logic
around portions of a test to make those portions run if a specific
condition is met.
Synchronizing users in tests
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 test and stagger
the release times so that the users do not overload the system. Synchronization
points are also useful in stress testing.
Adding a loop to a test
You can define part of a test as
a loop that runs a specified number of times. If the loop contains a synchronization
point, the synchronization point is released after the first iteration of
the loop and stays released for all further iterations.
