l: Sets the location to store the generated test results (<results_folder>).

Features

Think Time

Simulates realistic user behavior by introducing a configurable delay (default: 500ms) between test actions.

Test Fragments

Enables the reusability of frequently used test components like login and logout procedures.

Config Elements

• HTTP Request Defaults: Streamlines configuration by setting default values for HTTP requests.
• User Defined Variables: Enhances test flexibility by allowing parameterization and reuse of variables across the test plan.

Intuitive Reporting

Generates a comprehensive report that provides valuable insights into the load test's performance and the stability of the tested system under load.

Summary Report

Following a successful load test execution, a detailed and user-friendly summary report is generated. This report offers crucial metrics to evaluate the load tolerance and performance characteristics of the system being tested.
