Overview

By adding a delay to a schedule, you can emulate user actions more accurately.

To add a delay to a schedule:

1. In the Test Navigator, browse to the schedule and double-click it.

2. Right-click the schedule element to be delayed, and then click...
   Add | Delay

3. In the Schedule Element Details area, type the length and the time units of the delay.

   

Example

After you add a delay, you generally add the schedule elements that the delay controls. The schedule elements are at the same level as the delay, they are not children of the delay. The following schedule shows three delays.

The Browsers delay 10 seconds between each browse action. The Buyers delay 30 seconds between each Browse action and one minute before they decide to bid on an item.
