Settings specific to the simple scheduler.

• type: Type of scheduler
  • simple: Standard scheduler
• iterationtimebuffer:
  • mode: Time buffer mode. Defaults to nowait, if omitted.
    • nowait: No time buffer in between the iterations.
    • constant: Add a constant time buffer after each iteration. Defined by duration.
    • onerror: Add a time buffer in case of an error. Defined by duration.
    • minduration: Add a time buffer if the iteration duration is less than duration.
  • duration: Duration of the time buffer (for example, 500ms, 30s or 1m10s). Valid time units are ns, us (or µs), ms, s, m, and h.
• instance: Instance number for this instance. Use different instance numbers when running the same script in multiple instances to make sure the randomization is different in each instance. Defaults to 1.
• reconnectsettings: Settings for enabling re-connection attempts in case of unexpected disconnects.
  • reconnect: Enable re-connection attempts if the WebSocket is disconnected. Defaults to false.
  • backoff: Re-connection backoff scheme. Defaults to [0.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 4.0, 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0], if left empty. An example backoff scheme could be [0.0, 1.0, 10.0, 20.0]:
    • 0.0: If the WebSocket is disconnected, wait 0.0s before attempting to re-connect
    • 1.0: If the previous attempt to re-connect failed, wait 1.0s before attempting again
    • 10.0: If the previous attempt to re-connect failed, wait 10.0s before attempting again
    • 20.0: If the previous attempt to re-connect failed, wait 20.0s before attempting again
• settings:
  • executionTime: Test execution time (seconds). The sessions are disconnected when the specified time has elapsed. Allowed values are positive integers. -1 means an infinite execution time.
  • iterations: Number of iterations for each 'concurrent' user to repeat. Allowed values are positive integers. -1 means an infinite number of iterations.
  • rampupDelay: Time delay (seconds) scheduled in between each concurrent user during the startup period.
  • concurrentUsers: Number of concurrent users to simulate. Allowed values are positive integers.
  • reuseUsers:
    • true: Every iteration for each concurrent user uses the same user and session.
    • false: Every iteration for each concurrent user uses a new user and session. The total number of users is the product of concurrentusers and iterations.
  • onlyinstanceseed: Disable session part of randomization seed. Defaults to false, if omitted.
    • true: All users and sessions have the same randomization sequence, which only changes if the instance flag is changed.
    • false: Normal randomization sequence, dependent on both the instance parameter and the current user session.

If reconnectsettings.reconnect is enabled, the following is attempted:

1. Re-connect the WebSocket.
2. Get the currently opened app in the re-attached engine session.
3. Re-subscribe to the same object as before the disconnection.
4. If successful, the action during which the re-connect happened is logged as a successful action with action and label changed to Reconnect(action) and Reconnect(label).
5. Restart the action that was executed when the disconnection occurred (unless it is a thinktime action, which will not be restarted).
6. Log an info row with info type WebsocketReconnect and with a semicolon-separated details section as follows: "success=X;attempts=Y;TimeSpent=Z"
   • X: True/false
   • Y: An integer representing the number of re-connection attempts
   • Z: The time spent re-connecting (ms)
