The User Behavior Profile defines how the system simulates real user interactions during test execution. For example, selecting minimal delays allows the test to run as quickly as possible, which is ideal for stress testing and identifying system limits. You can customize the profile according to your test requirements under the User Behavior tab on the target settings page.

LoadView offers three preset profiles, each of which can be further customized to match your typical user scenarios:

  • Normal – Simulates realistic user interaction by introducing random delays of 3–6 seconds between test sessions.
  • Fast – Executes test sessions consecutively without delays.
  • Slow – Adds a 7-second delay between sessions to represent slower user interactions.

A custom user simulation allows you to define your own delay range between test sessions, from 0 to 30 seconds, in the Delay section.

When creating web application tests using the EveryStep Scripting Tool or Selenium scripts, you can also configure advanced interaction parameters such as MouseMoveSpeed, MouseMoveDelay (for Selenium), MouseClickSpeed, and TypeTextSpeed.

In multi-target test scenarios, a user behavior profile must be configured individually for each target.
