Runtime Functions

Arguments

Name	Comments
thinkTime	The length of the pause, in seconds.

lr.think_time allows you to pause test execution during a run. This is especially useful in simulating think time, the time a real user pauses to think between actions.

When using cross-step downloads or asynchronous functions of any kind, a long think time may cause the download to time out.

Return Values

No value returned.

Parameterization
