Insert a synchronization point into a suite in TestManager
Inserting Other Items into a Suite

You can insert a synchronization point:
s
Into a test script Insert a synchronization point into a test script using Robot in
one of the following ways:
During recording, using the toolbar or the Insert menu.
During test script editing, by manually typing the synchronization point
command into the test script.
Insert a synchronization point into the test script to control exactly where the test
script pauses execution. For example, insert a synchronization point command just
before you send a request to a server.
Use this method if the synchronization point depends upon some logic that you
add to the test script during editing.
For information about inserting a synchronization point into a test script during
recording, see the
Rational Robot User's Guide
.
s
Into a suite Insert a synchronization point into a suite through TestManager.
Insert a synchronization point into a suite in TestManager to pause execution
before or between test scripts rather than within a test script. Inserting a
synchronization point into a suite offers these advantages:
You can easily move the location of the synchronization point without having
to edit a test script.
The synchronization point is visible within the suite rather than hidden within
a test script.
When you insert a synchronization point into a suite in TestManager, you can do
more than assign a synchronization point name to a test script. For example:
You can specify whether you want the virtual testers to be released at the same
time or at different times.
If the virtual testers are to be released at different times (staggered), you can
specify the minimum and maximum times within which all virtual testers are
released.
You can specify a time-out period.
