UI Element | Description
--- | ---
Scenario Type | Before you create a scenario, you should have a good idea as to the type of scenario you want to create. For details, see Introducing Controller. Manual Scenario. You manually build the scenario creating Vuser groups and specifying the script, load generators, and the number of Vusers to include in each Vuser group using one of the following modes: By Number Indicate the total number of Vusers. In this mode, each script you select for the scenario is assigned to a Vuser group. You assign a number of Vusers to each Vuser group that you create. By Percentage Distribute the Vusers among the scripts. Note: You can convert scenarios from one mode to another at any time. For details, see Changing scenario modes. Goal-Oriented Scenario. You define the goals you want your test to achieve, and Controller automatically builds a scenario for you, based on these goals.
