Question

I can specify a think time for my visual studio 2012 load test. But is it possible, to give the think time a factor like: 40*{{factor}}

If factor = 2, my think time is 80s

Answer 1

I am not sure if this will work, but you can give it a try.

1. Create a LoadTest plugin and in the Initialize method set the DelayBetweenIterations value you want:

   public class Plugin : ILoadTestPlugin
   {
       private Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting.LoadTest _mLoadTest;
   
       public void Initialize(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting.LoadTest loadTest)
       {
           _mLoadTest.Scenarios[0].DelayBetweenIterations = 40 * factor;
       }
   }
   

2. Add your plugin to your load test by right click to the load test –> Add Load Test PlugIn…
