# Scale your test from VS Code

You can use any IDE to scale up your DevWeb tests with ScalUP. This topic describes working with the Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE.

For information on using predefined tasks for DevWeb tests in VS Code, see Scripting with Visual Studio Code.

## Set up a task in VS Code

The ScalUP tool works with VS Code. Use the tool to set up a tasks.json file to run your DevWeb script.

Tip: A predefined tasks.json template for VS Code is provided for your use. The template is based on running a test on OpenText Core Performance Engineering, and is available here: <DevWeb root folder>\examples\VsCodeTemplate

To set up a task for ScalUP in VS Code:

1. Create your DevWeb script, and test it in OpenText Performance Engineering for Developers.
2. Open the script in VS Code.

3. Either open an existing tasks.json file, or add a new task.

   To add a new task:

   1. Select Terminal > Configure Tasks (in older versions of VS Code, select Tasks > Configure Tasks).
   2. Select Create tasks.json file from template from the task list.
   3. In the Select a Task Template list, select Others. VS Code creates a tasks.json file as a basic template.

4. Add the relevant content to the tasks.json file, as follows:

   Property name | Value
   --- | ---
   task | Define your own label to identify the task.
   type | Define as shell.
   panel | Define as new. Every run will be in a new panel.
   <Platform> | You can run the task on Windows, Mac, or Linux OS (windows, osx, linux).
   command | Define the path to the ScalUP executable file, for the specified platform.
   args | Add the path to the relevant script folder, and the flags you want to include (these flag definitions override the settings in the cor_uploader.yml or ent_uploader.yml file).

   Example (for OpenText Core Performance Engineering):

5. Save the file.

## Run a test from VS Code

When you run the task that you defined in VS Code, your DevWeb script is uploaded and run on the relevant product.

To run the test:

1. In VS Code, select Terminal > Run Task.
2. In the Select the task to run list, select your task (the label you defined previously).

3. In the displayed list of options, select Continue without scanning the task output. The task starts running, and the script is uploaded. Progress is displayed in the Terminal pane.

4. A brief replay summary is displayed, providing information on the run and a transaction summary. It also provides the path to the report, containing the full details and graphs for the test run.
