Running Tests

Execute load tests and monitor real-time performance metrics.

Execution Workflows​

Create Test First​

Save configuration for repeated use.

Load Test Create
Load Test Run
  1. Configure test in Test Builder or Script Editor
  2. Click Create Test
  3. Navigate to test from project dashboard
  4. Click Run to execute

Use this workflow for tests that will be executed multiple times or require team access.

Create & Run​

Execute immediately without saving.

Load Test Create and Run

  1. Configure test
  2. Click Create & Run
  3. Test executes immediately

Use this for one-time or exploratory testing.

Execution Phases​

Preparation​

System provisions resources and validates configuration (typically 10-30 seconds).

Load Test Preparation

Running​

Virtual users execute the test script and generate load.

Load Test Run Page

Real-time metrics:

  • Current VUs and request rate
  • Response time (average, p95, p99)
  • Error rate and data transfer
  • Active connections

Controls:

  • Pause - Temporarily halt execution
  • Stop - Terminate test immediately
  • View Logs - Stream execution logs
warning

Stopping a test is permanent. Results will be partial up to the stop point.

Completion​

Test finishes and results are processed.

Load Test Run Success

Status:

  • Passed - All thresholds met
  • Failed - One or more thresholds violated
  • Stopped - Manually terminated
  • Error - System error encountered

Test Configuration​

Load settings:

  • Virtual Users (VUs) - Concurrent simulated users
  • Duration - Test runtime (e.g., "5m", "1h")
  • Ramp-up/Ramp-down - Gradual VU changes

Load patterns:

  • Constant - Fixed VU count
  • Ramping - Gradual increase
  • Stages - Multiple load levels
  • Spike - Sudden traffic surge

Execution zones:

  • Single zone - All VUs from one location
  • Multi-zone - Distribute load across regions

Thresholds:

http_req_duration: ['p(95)<500']
http_req_failed: ['rate<0.01']
http_reqs: ['rate>100']
