Use commands to change and manage the performance testing behaviors in sessions - Performance Testing

Commands let you control performance testing behaviors and processes within sessions to better simulate business traffic. Available commands include data commands, data export commands, conditional jump commands, think time commands, and rendezvous point commands.

Commands

The following table describes the available Performance Testing Service (PTS) commands.

Command category	Description
Data configuration command	Specifies a parameter from the global parameter file as the base column to maximize the use of all data in the parameter file. You can also specify a parameter in a secondary definition file, applicable only to the current session.
Data command	Performs secondary processing on the output parameters of a preceding API before passing them to the succeeding API in the same session, such as concatenating strings or running encryption functions. Data commands can also further process parameters exported by data export commands.
Data export command	Exports data such as cookies, export parameters, and parameters defined by data commands from a session for use in other sessions, enabling global data sharing.
Condition-based command	Defines multiple conditions that determine which APIs to execute.
Conditional jump command	Modifies the execution path of requests in a session based on the output parameters of an API. Supported actions include jumping to a different path, continuing along the current path, or ending the process. Conditions can be combined with AND relationships, where all conditions must be met to trigger an action. If no conditions are satisfied, the default action runs. You can also add conditions with OR relationships.
Looping command	Repeats API operations or commands a specified number of times to simulate real business traffic.
Delay release command	Postpones the execution of a session for a specified duration. The countdown starts when the test begins, and the session runs after the specified period elapses.
Think time command	Simulates the time a user spends thinking and reacting between two actions during performance testing. Multiple modes are supported.
Rendezvous point command	Sets a rendezvous point where virtual users wait until the specified conditions are met before proceeding together. This is particularly useful for scenarios such as flash sales. You can configure the rendezvous point based on time or the number of virtual users.
