Status Bar

At the bottom of the Console window, the status bar displays information about operations in progress.

While a session is running, the status bar displays continually updated information about the Elapsed time since the session started running, and the Remaining time till session end (if known).

The Session Tree

The Session Tree displays in the left pane of the Console screen, and gives you a complete graphical overview of the test session including the scripts run, and the hosts running each script. The icons adjacent to the tree items enable you to view your test activity at a glance.

During the test configuration phase, the Session Tree is a convenient interface for editing the test session. Clicking the WebLOAD Wizard icon in the Home tab of the ribbon starts the WebLOAD Wizard. Double-clicking a tree node opens the dialog box for configuring that tree item. Right-clicking a tree item prompts a menu that enables you to perform a number of functions on the test session. As you change your configuration through the Console configuration dialog boxes, the changes that you make are reflected in the Session Tree.

While your test session is running, the Session Tree displays its progress. The Session Tree displays the scripts configured for running, the participants in the test, and their status. For more information on the status of the test, see Status Icons .

The Session Tree Structure

• The "root" of the tree, in the upper-most line, displays the Load Session icon.
• The first level branches display the scripts to be run during the test session. The scripts may be single scripts or a Mix of scripts. The icons displayed next to the script name indicate its status. For more information on the status of Session components, see Status Icons .
• The second level branches present the hosts participating in the test session. These hosts can be Load Machines or Probing Clients. A different icon represents each host type. The icons displayed adjacent to the hosts indicate their status. Several hosts can run the same script.

Session Tree Icons

WebLOAD Console displays icons on each line of the Session Tree, making it easy to view your test elements and activity.

The Session Tree icons are described in the following table:

Icon	Session Component
	Load Session ‒ The root of the Session Tree.
	Script ‒ A single test script.
	Mix of scripts ‒ A combination of test scripts.
	Load Machine ‒ A machine used for generating Virtual Clients.
	Cloud Load Machine – A cloud machine used for generating Virtual Clients.
	Probing Client Machine ‒ A machine used for generating Probing Clients.
	Cloud Probing Client Machine – A cloud machine used for generating Probing Clients.

Status Icons

During runtime, status icons appear adjacent to each Load Session item (hosts, scripts) in the Session Tree, indicating the item’s status.

The status icons are described in the following table.

Icons	Cloud Icons	Description
		No current activity.
		Initialization completed successfully. Ready to run.
		Currently running.
		Temporarily paused. Remainder of Load Session continues running as usual.

The Session Tree in Run Mode

The Session Tree displays the complete configuration of the current Load Session. Status icons reflect the status of your Load Session.

Through the Session Tree you can see:

• The scripts running in the test session.
• The hosts running each script.
• Each script and host’s current operating status.

Icons are displayed on each line of the tree, making it easy to view the test activity.

The following is a line-by-line explanation of the above Session Tree:

Line Num	Icon	Explanation
1	Load Session	Indicates a Session Tree.
2	Script1	The script file to be run during the Load Session.
3	Windows7x64 (100, 100)	Describes the Load Machine for this test session. The Load Machine icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the host name (Windows7x64). A test session may include multiple Load Machines. Two numbers follow each Load Machine entry: - The first number is the maximum load that script schedules it to generate over the course of a test session. - The second number is the current load being generated. In this example, Windows7x64 is running under Script1, and has a maximum scheduled load of 100 Virtual Clients and is currently generating a load of 100 Virtual Clients.
4	Script2	The script file to be run during the Load Session.
5	localhost	Describes the Probing Client Machine host for this test session. The Probing Client icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the Host name (localhost). A test session may include multiple Probing Client hosts.
6	Mix 1	The Mix file to be run during the Load Session.
7	Windows7x64 (100, 100)	Describes the Load Machine for this test session. The Load Machine icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the host name (Windows7x64). Two numbers follow each Load Machine entry: - The first number is the maximum load that Mix schedules it to generate over the course of a test session. - The second number is the current load being generated. In this example, Windows7x64is running under Mix1, and has a maximum scheduled load of 100 Virtual Clients and is currently generating a load of 100 Virtual Clients.

To the right of each Load Machine two numbers are displayed in parentheses, for example, sharony (25, 45). These display the load size currently being generated; followed by the maximum load size (number of Virtual Clients) the script is scheduled to generate. The current load size number will change according to the load schedule defined in the Schedule dialog box. Before a test session begins, the ‘current’ load size being generated is 0. In most modes of operation, the current load size will never exceed the maximum load size scheduled for that Script listed to the right of the current value.

Note: Using Throttle Control, you can increase the current load size to exceed the maximum load size - but not while running the Goal-Oriented Test Session.

In run mode you can right-click an item in the Session Tree to view the test parameters defined in the session.
