[email protected] <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |o.nz Version|Nightly (Please specify |2.7 |date) | OS|Linux |Windows 7 --- Comment #2 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Can I second the request for a "Pause Button"? 1/. The test system is complex and requires frequent tinkering, which is difficult when running long test sequences. Additionally, the staging environment matches production, which has several scheduled events and down time which interfere with long test runs. 2/. Many long test sequences are for response metric gathering, which precludes doing any other task while the test is active (for the sake of a clean reading). It would be good to be able to pause a test run while some short task on the system is conducted, then resume. 3/. Some tasks cannot be automated, so it would be good for the tester to be able to pause the test, manually perform test steps, then resume the test. 4/. We would like to be able to pause the test and check certain aspects of the system while there is no load, then resume the load. I would imagine that when a pause button is pressed, in-flight transactions are completed, and no new transactions are initiated. In this way, a pause would not tend to generate false-negative results. The paused state would be indicated in the "activity light" (maybe it goes from green to amber). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
