Defining User Profiles

Introduction

 

In most scenarios, multiple users will be simultaneously accessing different parts of the Web service application, performing different operations. In order to map the real time activities and simulate the load, Web Service Performance tester allows you to configure User Profiles. Using user profiles greatly increases the accuracy of your test, since it better simulates what your Web service application will be seeing in the real world.

 

Each User Profile is a set of operations in the order of their execution.
