Adding a transaction

You can designate a group of test elements as a named transaction and view performance data about the transaction after each test run.

A transaction is a part of a test in whose performance you have a particular interest. You can add an empty transaction to a test. But more commonly, you designate existing test parts (pages or page requests) as a named transaction. When viewing the test's results, you can view performance data about any transactions that you have designated.

To put parts of a test into a transaction:

  1. In the Test Navigator, browse to the test and double-click it. The test opens in the test editor.
  2. In the test editor, select the pages or page elements that you want to group together. Use shift-click to select multiple contiguous pages or page elements; use control-click to select multiple discontiguous items.
  3. Click the Add button (to place the transaction at the bottom of the test or page) or Insert button (to place the transaction immediately under the selected item or block), and select Transaction.
  4. You are prompted whether to move the selected objects into the transaction. Answer Yes or No.
In the transaction details, you can assign a meaningful name to the transaction. This is recommended. The Transactions Report lists transactions by name.
