Description

Enable Scheduler

Enables the Scheduler so that you can run the test according to a user-defined schedule. To define a schedule, this option must be selected.

  • Stop test when Scheduler ends and Vusers are inactive. Automatically stops the test when the test schedule has stopped and all the Vusers are in any of the following inactive states: Down, Pass, Fail, Error, or Stop.

  • Start the Scheduler after a delay of HH:MM:SS. Enables you to specify when, after the Run Test command has been issued, the Scheduler should start running the schedule. If this option is not selected, the schedule starts to run as soon as the test starts running.

  • Wait for all groups to initialize. Instructs the Scheduler to wait until all the Vusers in all the Vuser groups have finished initializing before starting to run any of the groups.

    Note: If you select this option, if any of the Vuser groups' Initialize action is Initialize each Vuser just before it runs, the Scheduler automatically changes this setting to Initialize all Vusers simultaneously.

  • Pause Scheduler at test start. Pauses the Scheduler at the start of a test run, enabling you make changes to the test design just before the test is about to run. You can then restart the Scheduler manually.

Enable IP Spoofer

After you define multiple IP addresses, and before you run the test, select this option to enable IP spoofing.

Note: You must enable IP spoofing before running a test.

For details about multiple IP addressing, see Multiple IP Addresses.

Set maximum number of concurrent Vusers
