Automatic Transactions
You can instruct the LoadRunner Controller to handle every step in a Web Vuser
script as a transaction. This is called using automatic transactions. The steps that
the Controller includes in transactions are jumps to URLs, hypertext links,
hypergraphic links, and form submissions. LoadRunner assigns the step name as
the name of the transaction. By default, automatic transactions is enabled.
If you disable automatic transactions, you can still insert transactions manually
during and after recording. For more information on manually inserting
transactions, see Chapter 19,
Recording Web Vuser Scripts

Automatic Think Time
When you record a Web Vuser script, QuickTest does not record the time that you
wait between successive actions. This time is known as your
think time
. However,
you can use the run-time settings to insert a think time between actions when you
run the Vuser script. By default, Vusers do not use automatic think times.
To insert think times into your script, select the Enable Automatic Think Time check
box. Then specify the maximum and minimum values for the Vuser think time (in
milliseconds). When you run the Vuser script, LoadRunner randomly assigns a
think time within the specified range--between successive actions.
