1.4 Settings

The simple settings allow you to configure the basics of the test:

  • Name: The name of the test (e.g. RWC - Online Boutique).
  • Details:
    • Locations: The locations where the test will run from.
    • Device: Emulate different devices and connection speeds. Also, the viewport will be adjusted to match the chosen device.
    • Frequency: How often the test will run.
    • Round-robin: If multiple locations are selected, the test will run from one location at a time, rather than all locations at once.
    • Active: Set the test to active or inactive.

![Return to Test]For this workshop, we will configure the locations that we wish to monitor from. Click in the Locations field and you will be presented with a list of global locations (over 50 in total).

Global Locations Global Locations

Select the following locations:

  • AWS - N. Virginia
  • AWS - London
  • AWS - Melbourne

Once complete, scroll down and click on Click on Submit to save the test.

The test will now be scheduled to run every 5 minutes from the 3 locations that we have selected. This does take a few minutes for the schedule to be created.

So whilst we wait for the test to be scheduled, click on Edit test so we can go through the Advanced settings.
