Thanks for posting BWalker.

eValid has a built-in "Delay" command which has a variety of uses during script playback.

For example, this command can be inserted into a script to create a ramp-up type LoadTest scenario.

To create a LoadTest which ramps-up the load on the target machine by two virtual users every one minute you merely insert Delay commands in the LoadTest script, as shown in this example.

# eValid script to demonstrate load ramp-up...

ProjectID "Project"
GroupID "Group"
TestID "Load_Ramp"
LogID "DEFAULT"

LoadType THIN
Serve FULL

# Start with two users...
_eValid "Test.1.evs" "Test.1" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"
_eValid "Test.2.evs" "Test.2" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"

# Add in two more user...
Delay 60000
_eValid "Test.3.evs" "Test.3" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"
_eValid "Test.4.evs" "Test.4" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"

# Add in two more user...
Delay 60000
_eValid "Test.5.evs" "Test.5" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"
_eValid "Test.6.evs" "Test.6" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"

# Add in two more user...
Delay 60000
_eValid "Test.7.evs" "Test.7" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"
_eValid "Test.8.evs" "Test.8" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"

# Add in two more user...
Delay 60000
_eValid "Test.9.evs" "Test.9" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"
_eValid "Test.10.evs" "Test.10" "10" "" "-pm 1.0"

# End of Script

On playback, this LoadTest script will initially open two browser instances of eValid and gradually ramp up the playback every 60000ms (60 seconds, 1 minute) in increments of two browser sessions each.
