Adding a delay to a schedule

A delay lets you further control user actions. For example, you might want to slow down the initial startup of multiple users.

To add a delay to a schedule:
  1. In the Test Navigator, expand the project until you locate the schedule.
  2. Right-click the schedule, and then click Open.
  3. Right-click the schedule item that will contain the delay, and then click Add > Delay.
  4. In the Schedule Element Details section, enter the length and the time units of the delay.
After you add a delay, you generally add the schedule items that the delay controls. Note that these items are at the same level as the delay—they are not children of the delay.
The following schedule shows three delays. The Browsers delay 10 seconds between each browse action. The Buyers delay 30 seconds between each Browse action and one minute before they decide to bid on an item.
