The TestManager monitoring tools provide you with current information that is
dynamically updated as the test runs. This information includes:

The number of commands that have executed successfully and the number of
commands that have failed.

The general state of the virtual testers: whether they are initializing, connecting to
a database, exiting, or performing other tasks.

The Progress Bar and the Default Views
When you run a test, TestManager displays the monitoring information in a Progress
bar and in views. The Progress bar gives you a quick summary of the state of the run
and cannot be changed. You can change the views, however, to provide summary
information or detailed information about each virtual tester.
