Launching your test
Setting test parameters for your first flood on the Launch Flood screen
On the Launch screen, you can set some options related to the execution of your test.
Choosing a region to run your test from
Regions refers to the geographical locations that your flood will be executed from. By default, these are AWS availability zones. Choose any one region for now.
Selecting the number of virtual users
Enter the number of virtual users you want to run your test. Since this is your first flood, we'd recommend starting with a small number as a proof-of-concept.
Setting the duration for your flood
In Duration, you can choose how long you want to run your test. Move the slider or enter the duration in minutes (we recommend up to 15 minutes for now).
Setting a ramp up period in minutes for your users
Ramp up is the amount of time it takes for your test to go from 0 users to the number of users that you set. Since we're not running many users now, it's safe to leave it at 0 minutes.
Cost estimates are shown before launching a test
You'll see a summary of the settings you've selected, including an estimate of the VUH the test will consume and how much it will cost. Note that they are estimates because the final cost may vary. For instance, if you're still on the free tier, you won't be charged.
