Assigning Agents

In support of large-scale load testing, Silk Performer has consolidated all agent-to-workload assignment features within a single workflow step, available via the Assign Agents workflow bar button. Here you can configure the distribution of virtual users in your load testing environment and assign VUsers to specific agents, agent clusters, or cloud agents. Wizards are available to assist you in calculating recommended capacity for specific agents.

The Assign Agents workflow bar button helps you get started with the following tasks:

• Configuring individual agents and adding them to the workbench agent pool
• Assigning individual agents to your project
• Assigning clusters of agents with pre-defined capabilities to your project
• Configuring your project to use agents that run as virtual machines in the cloud.
