When you have opened a flow in LoadGen Studio, the main window lets you configure your flow.

The LoadGen Studio Main window has 3 sections to use:
Ribbon: where you can open flows, save, open recorder, etc (top of the window).
  • General Simulation Flow: shows you the architecture of your flow (left pane).
  • Editing window: where you can edit general properties of your flow or the blocks of your application.

You are able to change and edit the following settings of your flow:
  • General: General Properties, Repeat Options, Tempo Options.
  • Usertypes & Applications.
  • Custom Objects: Variables, Validation Images.
  • Repository: Useraction blocks, Data Sources.

 

Adding blocks to your application

When you click on Logon, Initialize, Finalize, Logoff, or one of your applications in your main iteration you are able to add Blocks to this section. These Blocks can create smaller sections for clearer Flow building.

LoadGen Studio Recorder Window

You use the LoadGen Recorder to write/debug the script that you want to use for your test.

LoadGen Recorder consists of 3 sections:
  • In the left pane, you have your Toolbox, with all the actions you want to add to your flow (when running your flow in the Recorder this pane will change to actions pane with the results of your run).
  • In the middle pane, you have the Application block, here you have all the sections of your Flow and the tools or actions that you have written.
  • For RDS and Citrix profile (defined in the LoadGen Director) you will see a pane that will host your session (Local Client profile will use your current machine window session to run your script).
