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.
Assume following operations have been defined:
AsyncGetEmployees
getEmployeeAddressDetails
updateEmployeeAddressDetails
updateEmployeeDB
A user profile consists of one or more operations, each with unique settings reflecting different usage characteristics.
User Profiles are created using the
Load est Configurator UI. Choose the Load
Test Configurator option
placed
in the Quick Links pane below
the tabs.
To know the detailed steps of configuring the user profiles, please refer to the context sensitive help in the following link.
