Controlling the test runs from web analytics report
When a schedule is in the running state, you can perform the following actions from the
web analytics reports to cater to your need.
Changing the number of virtual users during a run
If the number of virtual users that was defined initially is incorrect, you can correct
the number of users, and apply the change to one stage or to all of the remaining stages in the
schedule.
Releasing virtual users from synchronization points
To record the response time of the system under test at different points, you can release
virtual users either all together or in staggered intervals. You can release virtual users from
synchronization points during a run.
Changing the stage duration during a run
Increase or decrease the duration of the current stage
during a schedule run. You can change the duration of a stage that is set to run for a specified
time, but not for a stage that is set to run until the work is complete. You can change the duration
of a stage when the status is Running, but not when the status is
Ramping or Settle Time.
Changing the log level during a run
You can change the log level
to determine problems during a run. By default, only warnings and
severe errors are logged. Typically, you change this level only when
requested to do so by IBM® Software
Support.
Stopping test runs
You can stop a test run before it is complete.
For example, you might detect serious problems in the run and not
want to wait for it to finish. When stopping the test run, you can
choose to save the results and the test log of the run.
