You can use the Latency page of the Settings dialog to specify default values for latency. Latency is delay added to the execution of a transaction to control of how fast transactions are submitted to the system-under-test. Use Latency to model real-world user interactions.
The default latency settings apply to transactions you add through the Transactions tab.
Note: If you modify the default settings in the Settings dialog, the changes apply to new jobs only, not to existing jobs.

Real-World Delays |
Use this option to simulate real-world processing by inserting a delay before and/or after each transaction execution. For each delay type, you can insert a fixed time by selecting Absolute, or you can select one of the distribution models for specifying time. Keying Time—Inserts a delay before execution to simulate the amount of time spent performing data entry. Think Time—Inserts a delay after execution to simulate the amount of time "to think" about the results of the previous transaction. |
