Using eValid's loadtesting capability with a LoadTest License, one can achieve simple to complex loadtest scenarios in a matter of minutes. Through eValid's simple to read and use scripting language, a vast effective collection of realtime information is available to the Web tester in text and graph form.

Below is the LoadTest script .evl file that calls the user script .evs file. Once a LoadTest script is created, then one only needs to load the script to eValid eValid>Open Load Test, then select eValid > Playback Mode > Start Playback or F6. Also following are thumbnails linked to screen shots of the LoadTest in action, opened 150 pixels high X 300 pixels wide windows which were specified as parameters in the .evl loadtest script. Also was set, the modem simulation -pr switch set to 44 kbps. The value substitution parameter, $ThinkTime is also demonstrated. Explanations of all parameters are available in the user documentation in the Help>Documentation>User Manual menu from eValid.
