Execution Scenario¶
A runtime scenario is a collection of user profiles. User profiles allow you to easily compose a test with a mix of:
- Virtual users,
- Test locations (including cloud and on premise),
- Load policies,
- Behaviors (like cache or cookies),
- etc...
User profiles¶
The scenario page uses a layout with the list on the left and edition on the right. The list features all the usual possibilities as described in the dedicated section about lists.
Edit user profile¶
To Edit a user profile, you can click Edit in the list or click on a user profile in the Stacked Profiles graph:
This will allow you to Edit all the following settings:
| Setting | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| VU | Defines the virtual user profile attached to this userload. | Buyer |
| Location | Geo location where the virtual users are running. It can be a Cloud or On-Premise location. | EU West (Ireland) |
| Strategy | Lets you define user load strategy (number of concurrent users and duration). | 1000 vus, 1h |
| Name | Change the display name of this user profile. | Buyer in Ireland |
| Device | Defines the virtual user's browser settings (like cookies and cache management) and the network simulation settings. | As Recorded |
| DNS | Domain Name System settings. | Clear cache OFF |
| JMeter | JMeter runtime properties and JMeter Test Logs file generation settings. | OFF |
| Memory | Memory override settings. | default |
Runtime scenario overview¶
This section displays:
- How many User profiles compose this runtime scenario,
- The sum of Max Concurrent users across all profiles,
- The Maximum duration,
- How many unique Virtual users and Regions are configured.
Rescale entire test¶
When you hover your mouse on the Maximum concurrent users or Maximum duration you will see a Scale scenario button. This allows you to change the Maximum concurrent users and/or maximum duration for the entire test.
Clicking on Scale scenario will open a new windows where you can define the target value(s).
Just enter the new number of concurrent users and duration you would like to launch and we will increase the proportions of each User profile to match this.
Warning
To prevent rounding issues, it is not allowed to scale the scenario to a Maximum concurrent user resulting to 0 for one of the User Profiles.
Edit scenario metadata¶
This is a shortcut toward editing the Runtime scenario metadata.
Launch test¶
A simple click on the Launch test button will open a window with the test starting wizard.
