How to: Specify Scenarios

Load tests contain one or more scenarios, which are used to model how a group of users interacts with a server application. An individual scenario is made up of a load pattern, a test mix, a browser mix, and a network mix. Each of these settings corresponds to a page in the Load Test Wizard.

Note

You can add more scenarios, or change any of the scenario settings in the Load Test Editor. For more information, see How to: Add Scenarios to a Load Test.

Specifying Scenarios in the Load Test Wizard

When you first create a load test, you specify an initial scenario in the Load Test Wizard. For more information, see How to: Launch the Load Test Wizard.

To specify a scenario in the Load Test Wizard

  1. On the Scenario page of the Load Test Wizard, enter a name for your initial scenario.

    Note

    You can add more scenarios later.

  2. Select your preferred think time profile. For more information, see About Think Times.

  3. Select your preferred think time between test iterations.

  4. After you choose the Scenario page settings, click Next to continue to the Load Pattern page of the Load Test Wizard.
