Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By running the start command, you can configure the start time and end time of an NQA test. If you need to perform period test from the start time to the end time in a test instance, run the frequency command to configure the interval for automatically performing the test instance. After that, the NQA test is automatically performed one time at each set interval.

If no end time is configured, the test cannot stop automatically. You need to stop it manually.

Setting the interval for automatically performing an NQA test can avoid performing an NQA test manually and frequently.

Prerequisites

Before using the frequency command, run the test-type command to specify the type of a test instance.

Configuration Impact

If the master/slave switchover is performed on the NQA client before the test instance (group) is complete, the following situations may occur:

If the interval for automatically performing the test is not set, the test stops after the master/slave switchover.
If the interval for automatically performing the test instance is set, the test is performed from the next period after the master/slave switchover.

Example

# Set the interval for auto performing the test named admin http to 120 seconds.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] nqa test-instance admin http
[sysname-nqa-admin-http] test-type http
[sysname-nqa-admin-http] frequency 120
