Test Executing Section

Submitting Your Test​

Once you've created your test, it's time to see it in action! To start it, simply click the ▶ Play button on the dashboard.

What to Expect​

As you initiate the process, you'll encounter an initializing moment that visually represents the system's progress from 0% to 100%. This is not just a loading screen; it’s a dynamic view into what’s happening behind the scenes.

Loading Animation During this phase, the system performs essential tasks to ensure everything is set up correctly. You’ll see a loading animation that provides real-time feedback on the status of your test, reassuring you that the process is underway. Play button

Initializing Process​

As the test initializes, a progress bar displays the current percentage of completion together with the stage it is on:

  1. Initializing test environment
  2. Provisioning compute nodes and allocating resources
  3. Booting load generators and preparing virtual users
  4. Syncing monitoring dashboards and validating connections
  5. Launching load test — you are then redirected to the results page

Initializing Process

Stopping a Run​

While a test is executing, the ▶ Play button of that row turns into a red Stop button. Clicking it asks you to confirm before the execution is stopped. A stopped run is kept in the history and marked Cancelled, but it produces no results and no report.

If the Test Does Not Start​

The run is rejected, with the reason shown on screen, when:

  • the number of users or the duration of the test exceeds what your plan allows;
  • the test is already executing;
  • one of the target URLs can no longer be resolved — addresses are re-validated at execution time, because DNS may have changed since the test was created;
  • another test of yours is still executing and your plan allows only one run at a time — Only one test allowed to be executed in your plan. Parallel runs become available starting from the Monthly package.
