Test Load Specification
Test Load Specification
On this page of New Scenario Wizard,
you can specify the number of virtual users participating in test run.
There are 3 types of user load in WAPT Pro:
constant, ramp-up and periodic.
Depending on the type of test you have chosen on the previous step, the program suggests you the corresponding
type of user load.
Fixed number of users
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 load
The number of users will increase
gradually during the test until it reaches some maximum value.
Specify an initial and maximum number of users and iteration step.
You can also set a delay before starting the next user(s) in the
every edit box.
This type of load allows watching how your site responds to the increasing number of users.
Periodic load
Periodic load consists of 2 phases changing one another:
one with a low load level and another with a high load level.
Specify the number of users for each phase and set the duration of phases.
Periodic load is useful to test that application allocates and frees server resources correctly.
If you wish to change the type of user load for your test,
you will be able to do it after completion of this wizard in the
Test Volume view.
If you include several profiles in your test scenario, you will be able to
choose how many users of each profile will participate in the test.
See the profiles table in the Test Volume view
where you can edit the number of users for each profile.
In the trial version of WAPT Pro, the maximum number of virtual users is limited to 20.
Even if you specify greater values, only 20 users will be added to the test.
This limitation is removed when you register the product.
