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).
