Q.43: What is think time? How do you change the threshold?
Think time is the time that a real user waits between actions. Example: When a user receives data from a server, the user may wait several seconds to review the data before responding. This delay is known as the think time. Changing the Threshold: Threshold level is the level below which the recorded think time will be ignored. The default value is five (5) seconds. We can change the think time threshold in the Recording options of the Vugen.

Q.44: What is the difference between standard log and extended log?
The standard log sends a subset of functions and messages sent during script execution to a log.
The subset depends on the Vuser type.
Extended log sends a detailed script execution messages to the output log.
This is mainly used during debugging when we want information about: 1) Parameter substitution. 2) Data returned by the server. 3) Advanced trace.

Q.50: What is Throughput?
If the throughput scales upward as time progresses and the number of Vusers increase, this indicates that the bandwidth is sufficient. If the graph were to remain relatively flat as the number of Vusers increased, it would be reasonable to conclude that the bandwidth is constraining the volume of data delivered.
