<Groups/Scripts list>
Displays the following information about the Vuser groups/scripts selected for the scenario:

  • Selected checkbox . Indicates that the Vuser group/script is participating in the scenario.

  • Group/Script Name.The name of the Vuser group/script.

  • Script Path. The path of the Vuser script. An icon adjacent to the path, indicates whether the entry is a Vuser script , a unit test module , such as .NET or Java, or an OpenText Functional Testing test .

    If the Vuser group includes more than one script, the scripts' names are listed. Clicking the cell's drop-down arrow displays the scripts' full paths.

    If you want to access the script from a location that is relative to the current scenario folder, you can replace the actual path with the relative path. For details, see Relative paths for scripts.

  • Virtual Location. A drop-down list of all available Network Virtualization (NV) locations for the group. The load generator icon Load Generators button next to the virtual location name indicates that the script is run according to the per Load Generator mode. For more details, see Per group versus per load generator.

    To run this script without NV, select None. Click Browse to open the Network Virtualization Settings dialog box.

  • Insights. When NV is activated, select the Insights checkbox to generate the NV Insights report. For details, see NV Insights report.

    Note: The Virtual Location and Insights columns are only available when the NV software is installed. These columns do not appear if you deactivate NV. To enable NV or edit the locations, see Virtual Locations Settings dialog box.

  • Quantity. (Vuser Group mode) The number of Vusers assigned to the Vuser group.

    This column is read-only when defining a real-world schedule (default schedule). In this case, the quantity of Vusers is set when designing the scenario schedule.

  • %. (Percentage mode) The percentage of Vusers assigned to run the Vuser script.

    If you modify the percentage assigned to one group, the percentages assigned to the other scripts change to create a total of 100% for all of the Vuser scripts.

    Note: Modify percentages to the scripts starting with the first script in the list and moving down the list.

  • Load Generators. The load generators assigned to the Vuser group/script.

    If you select multiple load generators for a group/script, the Vusers are distributed evenly among the load generators.

    Default value (in Percentage mode): All Load Generators
