Data Animation

When animation is enabled, content received from servers during virtual user execution is displayed in real time, as users would see it. In the case of Web application testing, this means that you can see page content loading (graphics, text, and embedded objects) as virtual users see it. Animation is enabled by default.

TrueLog animation is helpful when you execute a load test with TrueLog On Error enabled and you detect errors with individual users using the error count in Silk Performer Virtual User view in the Monitor window. You can view TrueLog On Error files immediately using the context menu within Virtual User view by clicking Explore TrueLog. However, this only works for virtual users that are running on the controller machine, as you do not have access to TrueLogs for remote agents during load tests.
