Use the Create a Synchronization Point companion to select a test step to use as a synchronization point in a test case or a test suite. At a synchronization point, virtual users pause and wait until each one has reached this step. Then all virtual users are released to execute the step simultaneously. This capability is useful when setting up load tests for concurrent testing or peak resource utilization.
For example, you could set up a 100-user test so all users log in to your application and order the same seat in a theater simultaneously.
Synchronization points apply to a single test or you can apply them to all tests in a test suite. In test suites, the synchronization point name must be the same across the suite, but the At Step can be different. Multiple test scenarios (and test suites) must be set to run in parallel, because serial tests cannot access the synchronization point simultaneously by definition. Multiple synchronization points can be defined in a test case or test suite.
To configure the Create a Synchronization Point companion, enter the following parameters:
The name that you specify for the synchronization point.
Select the step for the synchronization point from the drop-down list. The virtual users pause before executing this step.
The number of seconds to wait for the synchronization to occur. All virtual users must reach the At Step before the timeout period elapses.
