> Multiple Value Substitution During LoadTest Runs

  When running an eValid LoadTest that involves simulating multiple
  users -- a different one for each browser session -- you can use
  the DataSynthesis command to perform value substitution for each
  script.

  To configure an eValid LoadTest to be run under the data synthesis
  command follow these simple instructions

    (1) Prepare the *.evs script by specifying the
        "DataSynthesisFile" command, followed by the name of the
        data file at the beginning of the script file.

    (2) Create the raw data file -- where you'll add in the names
        and details of each user -- by clicking on the "Edit
        DataSynthesisFile" command button from the eValid script
        toolbar.

    (3) Create a new eValid LoadTest script by clicking on the "File
        > New LoadTest" pulldown from eValid; or, edit an existing
        *.evl file to include the new information.

    (4) From the *.evl file, the last arguments fed to eValid for
        the LoadTest run are the command line switches, which are
        added to the loadtest to produce specific results.  For the
        eValid sessions that will be using data parameterization,
        simply add the "-DATASYN" switch as part of the the last
        argument in a loadtest script.

    (5) Press Play!
