How to: Specify Run Settings
Run settings are a set of properties that affect an entire load test. The run settings determine the length of the test, warm-up duration, maximum number of error details reported, sampling rate, connection model (Web tests only), results storage type, validation level and SQL tracing. The run settings should reflect the goals of your load test. For more information, see About Run Settings.
Note
Run settings, like counter sets, apply to all the scenarios in a load test instead of individual scenarios.
When you create a load test, you specify the initial run settings for the load test in the Load Test Wizard. For more information, see How to: Launch the Load Test Wizard.
Note
You can change the Run Settings for a load test by using the Load Test Editor. For more information, see How to: Change the Run Settings.
