> Load Testing with eValid -- Eight Easy Steps

  To produce an efficient loadtest scenario in eValid, we have
  outlined some easy steps in creating a loadtest.

  (1) Identify the script file to be played back during the loadtest
      scenario or record a new script.

  (2) Click the "File" option from the main eValid toolbar and
      select "New LoadTest".

  (3) From the HTML page that is loaded, enter the location of where
      you want the loadtest script (evl) to be saved. It is possible
      to include multiple scripts in one loadtest to add variety and
      depth to the loadtest scenario. The predetermined location is
      the current working directory.

  (4) Enter the name of the script file.

  (5) Enter the number of repetitions for each instance of the
      loadtest.

  (6) If there are variables to be substituted into the script file
      during the loadtest session, enter the values in the
      "Name/Value Pairs" field in the loadtest script form.

  (7) Enter the delay multiplier for each browser session.

  (8) Click on the "Create Script Line" button to generate a single
      line in the loadtest script. The number of users is also
      determined by the hardware configuration of the machine which
      will be running the loadtest. For more information on the
      hardware requirements and system settings for optimum
      performance, please visit:

      LoadTest Usage Hints

  Note: Each line in the loadtest represents a single user.
  Additional parameters can be added in the "Delay Multiplier" field
  of the loadtest script form, each separated by a whitespace
  character to affect the playback of each instance of eValid. A
  complete list of command line options can be found at:
