What is a session?

A “session” is defined as the time that a user is spending in a frontend application on and off from start to finish or timeout. A user session is either created or resumed when a user visits and uses the site. A user session ends after a maximum lifetime of 4 hours or after inactivity timeout of 15 minutes. The SDK will automatically create a new user session in any of these situations, if the user returns.

FAQ
What is a test execution?

A test execution is a Synthetic test running in a probe location per minute of run time.

Example: A synthetic test running in 5 locations that takes 1.5 minutes to complete will consume 10 executions each time it runs.

How do I estimate the number of test executions?

To estimate the number of test executions per month, you will need the following inputs:

  • Number of Locations (Probes)
  • Number of Targets (Tests)
  • Duration of Test (rounded to the nearest minute)
  • Frequency of Tests (in Minutes)
Using the above info, you can calculate the number of test executions per month by applying this formula (where 43,200 is the total minutes in a month):
probes x tests x duration x (43,200 / frequency)

  • Support icon Support 24x7 support
FAQ
What is a virtual user hour (VUh)?

VUh is calculated by using the following formula:

(Maximum number of VUs x test execution duration in minutes) / 60 minutes = VUh

If your test ramps up to a maximum of 100 VUs and runs for 10 minutes, the test run will use 16.67 VUh ((100 VUs x 10 minutes)/60 = 16.67 VUh).

Note that VU hours are calculated based on the period that the test run executes, not the preconfigured test duration. If the test duration is 2 or more hours but runs for only 30.01 minutes, then the subscription will be charged for the test-execution period rounded up to the next minute (in this case, 31 minutes).

The minimum for a test is 1 VUh. Find additional details here.
