Socket connection details
In the test editor, socket connection elements describe the connection to a server. A connection must exist before you can send or receive data. These settings apply to all send, receive, and close elements that use the selected connection.
- Host and Port
- Specify the computer name or IP adress, and the port, to which the connection is made.
- Timeout
- Specify the timeout delay (in seconds) after which the test returns an error if no connection is established.
- Symbolic name
- Type the name of the connection as it will appear in the test results.
- Think Time (ms)
- Specify the programmatically-calculated time delay that is observed before executing the current test element. Think time is a statistical emulation of the amount of time actual users spend reading or thinking before performing an action.
- Connection time
- This is the reference time that was measured when the test was recorded.
- Client program
