Test Manager user guide
VU units are pulled from the license server at runtime and released back to the license pool after your performance tests are finished. The execution of performance tests will be allowed by the system if there are sufficient unused VU units on the license server. The execution of performance tests will be blocked by the system if there aren’t sufficient VU units available on the license server.
In the following example, a customer who owns 1 bundle (2,500 VU units) creates 2 testing scenarios.
- Test Scenario 1
- 1 Web UI test case with 100 virtual users = 1,000 VU units
- 1 API test case with 500 virtual users = 500 VU units
- Total: 1,500 VU units
- Test Scenario 2
- 1 Desktop test case with 10 virtual users = 1,000 VU units
- Total: 1,000 VU units
Combined, the 2 testing scenarios can be executed within the provisioned license limit.
Scenario 1 + Scenario 2 = 2,500 VU units
In the following example, a customer who owns 1 bundle (2,500 VU units) creates 2 testing scenarios.
- Test Scenario 1
- 1 Web UI test case with 100 virtual users = 1,000 VU units
- 1 API test case with 500 virtual users = 500 VU units
- Total: 1,500 VU units
- Test Scenario 2
- 15 Desktop test cases with 10 virtual users = 1,500 VU units
- Total: 1,000 VU units
Combined, the 2 testing scenarios exceed the provisioned license limit. For this example, only Test Scenario 1 is run. However, when Test Scenario 1 (or another test worth at least 1,000 VU units) is completed, users can trigger the execution of Test Scenario 2. After a scenario execution completes, the used VU units are released back to the license server and they become available again. Users can, at this point, run the scenarios that may have previously exceeded the available VU unit capacity.
Scenario 1 + Scenario 2 = 3,000 VU units
