A response time measures the delay between a specified
start event and a specified stop event. Typically, the start of the
measurement is set to a mouse or keyboard input. Similarly, the stop
is set to a window create, window activate, or window destroy event
that is a response to the input event, or an image synchronization
element that was recorded with the test.
Before you begin
Response time measurements require a start element and
a stop element. If either of these are missing, the response time
definition is displayed with an error or warning marker.
About this task
When the Response time for main windows option
is selected in the Citrix Test Generation preferences, recorded tests
are generated with a response time measurement each time a main window
is created. Generated measurements start on the event that occurred
immediately before a main window is created and stop when the main
window is created.
You can view all the response times of a
test by selecting the Citrix test element in the test editor. Response
times are listed in the Response Time Definitions table
where they can be edited, renamed, or deleted.
Procedure
- In the test editor Test Contents area,
select a test element to start the response time measurement.
- Press the Ctrl key, and select another test element to
stop the response time measurement. The two elements are
selected in the test. The first element is the start of the response
time measurement and the second is the stop.
- Right-click either the start or stop element, and click Create
Response Time.
- A Create Response Time window displays
information about the new response time measurement. If the new response
time measurement replaces a previous one, click Yes.
Otherwise, click OK.
- Optional: To view all the response times that
are defined for the test, click the test element in the test navigator,
and select the Citrix Response Time page.
Note: By default, response time measurements are included in
the test results, even when the synchronization fails with a timeout.
To exclude failed synchronizations from the response time results,
clear the State option in the Response
Time Definitions list.
