Speed Simulation for mobile Vuser scripts
Speed Simulation models the behavior of a mobile network. This enables you to test applications, while taking into consideration end-to-end response time from device to server.
Three configuration options are available, allowing you to maximize the accuracy of your simulation:
- Maximum Bandwidth
- Standard Bandwidth
- Custom Bandwidth
You set the bandwidth using the Speed Simulation Runtime settings as described below.

User interface elements are described below:
UI Element | Description |
---|---|
Use maximum bandwidth |
Vusers run at the maximum bandwidth that is available over the network. This option is provided in cases where you do not want to emulate a specific network. This is the default setting. |
Use standard bandwidth |
Each network type has both a maximum and expected rate. The maximum rate represents the technology's best case performance rate while the expected rate more accurately reflects real time performance. |
Use custom bandwidth |
Sets a custom download and upload speed, defined in bits. You can set a single value or range for either the upload or download speed. A case where this option would be useful, is when you know the expected network speed from your cellular provider for a specific area. Download speed:The download speed in bits, defined as a range or single value. Upload speed:The upload speed in bits, defined as a range or single value. Note:
