After you create a schedule, run it with a small number
of users and watch their activity to verify that the schedule is behaving
as expected. You can compare the visual data that is rendered as well
as the events that are logged for each user.
Procedure
- Open the schedule, click the Test Log tab,
and set each Log Level to All. This setting makes sure that the virtual user that you select
will have complete test log data.
- Verify that the schedule contains a small number of virtual
users.
- Open the schedule, click the User Load tab
and set a small number of users. Setting a small number
of users prevents the log from becoming unwieldy, which can occur
when the log level is All.
- If you are running a fixed number of users, select each
user group and set the numbers so that the total is equal to that
in the User Load tab.
- Save the schedule and click Run to
run the schedule with the limited number of users.
- After the schedule completes, open the test log: Right-click
the schedule run, and select Display test log.
- In the test log, click the Events tab,
expand the test log to display the virtual users, and select a virtual
user to watch.
- In the Protocol Data view, click Replay (
). The virtual user's pages, which were loaded
during the run, are redisplayed. Each page pauses the number of seconds
that you set in the Replay Delay preference
().
- To stop replaying, click Stop Replay (
).
