Configuring Load Tests

Introduction

Creating a load test involves recording transactions, parameterizing test scripts and configuring load details. You can also configure the server monitors to collect the CPU usage, memory usage and thread counts and db monitoring to monitor the database parameters. This allows you to test the web application with various scenarios reflecting the real world transactions of a user.

Creating Load Tests

To create a new load test, click the 'New Load Test' link on the left-side tree of the Web Performance UI. The Create New load test dialog box opens up. Enter the name for the load test and click OK to create a new load test. The newly created load test will be listed under '[SuiteName]->loadtests' on the left side tree.

Editing Load Tests

In the Web Performance UI, navigate to the appropriate suite and select from the loadtests displayed under the suite tree. The load test screen will be shown along with the transactions configured and the load details configured. To edit the load test, you can make changes to the transaction or the configured load and click 'Save'.

Deleting Load Tests

To delete a load test, navigate to the suite in the Web Performance UI, select the appropriate load test, right click and choose 'Delete' option.
