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.
