Preparing a Script for Load Testing

In the previous lessons, you verified that your script was an accurate emulation of your application. You watched the playback in real time and you verified that the Vuser performed a typical business process.
This, however, is true only for a single user emulation. Will the application work with many users working simultaneously? If so, will the application slow down to an unacceptable level?
The next step, therefore, is to prepare the script for a load test and set it up to gather response time data. In this lesson you will learn about different methods to enhance the script and to make it more effective for the load testing process.
In this lesson you will cover the following topics:
➤ How do I measure business processes?
➤ How do I emulate multiple users?
➤ How do I verify Web page content?
➤ How can I produce debugging information?
➤ Did my test succeed?
