A transaction is
a specific group of test elements whose performance you are interested
in. When viewing the test results, you can view performance data about
any transactions that you have added.
You can add a transaction to a test or to a schedule, in this context, is used to
refer to VU Schedule and Rate Schedule. When specifying
error conditions for a transaction, you can set the behavior of the condition to affect the
health of the transaction. The Transaction Health tab of the Transaction report displays the
health of the transactions in a test.
To put a group of schedule elements into a transaction:
-
In the Test Navigator, browse to the schedule and double-click
it.
The schedule opens.
-
In the schedule, select the test elements to group together.
Use Shift+click to select multiple contiguous elements; use Control+click
to select multiple noncontiguous elements; each noncontiguous element
is put in a separate transaction.
-
Click Add (to place the transaction
after the selected element) or Insert (to place
the transaction immediately before the selected element or block),
and click Transaction.
-
In the Schedule Element Details area,
give the transaction a meaningful name. This is useful in the Transactions
report, which lists transactions by name.
You can now use the Add or Up and Down buttons
to add the tests or elements to the transaction.
