Initialize Database test script

294

Chapter 10 - Designing Performance Testing Suites

The following suite shows 99 virtual testers waiting until the first virtual tester
initializes a database:

The second column in the suite lists the events and the third column lists the
dependencies. In this suite, as soon as the Initialize Database test script completes, it
sets the event Database Is Initialized. The Add New Record, Modify Record, and
Delete Record test scripts depend on this event and can run only after it is set.

In the previous example, the virtual testers in the Data Entry user group ran test
scripts randomly. In this case, you must add a dependency to each test script in the
selector, because you do not know which test script will run first. However, if the Data
Entry user group runs the test scripts sequentially, add a dependency to the first test
script only.

To add a test script that sets or depends on an event:
