Test Scenarios
A Test Scenario holds the test data and instructions you want to use when performing tests on your server/website.
Utilizing multiple Test Scenarios allows you to test multiple variations of the test data (such as different form inputs or testing on different browsers). Monitors that contains multiple Test Scenarios will test them in a round-robin fashion, with one Test Scenario tested at each monitoring interval.
We recommend that you only add multiple Test Scenarios to a single Monitor if they are testing different aspects of the same web-application and this application shares the same data source. This is because if one of your Test Scenarios fails, the system will continue to test only the failing Scenario until the error is corrected. Any other scenarios will not be tested during this time. In following the recommendation, you can expect that if one Test Scenario of the monitor fails, then all of the other Test Scenarios are probably also failing.
Example of Scenario round-robin testing: If you have one monitor that has two Test Scenarios and the monitor's testing frequency is 5 minutes, the actual testing will look like this:
5 minutes: Scenario A is tested.
10 minutes: Scenario B is tested.
15 minutes: Scenario A is tested.
20 minutes: Scenario B is tested.
