Tl;dr — Your script is basically the brain of your load test. We’re always looking for ways to empower our users to write load testing scripts that provide actionable web performance data. We recently hosted a webinar that shows users how to use our “Advanced Mode” to write better scripts and get better data. In this tutorial, we’ll cover:

• Using our Chrome Extension to create load testing scripts
• Naming conventions in your scripts to make page data easily identifiable
• Why validating your load testing scripts is absolutely essential
• The importance of sleep time in your scripts

Tl;dr — We’re hosting a webinar at 1 p.m. EST May 4: “How to Create Realistic Load Tests with Advanced Mode.”

• This webinar will help you run more realistic tests, which will give you more actionable performance data in your results, which helps you better optimize your website, app and/or APIs

• This webinar will last between 30-45 minutes — we’re succinct, but thorough

Load scripts are used to program the behavior of simulated users in a load test. Apart from native functionality of the Lua language, load script programmers can also use Load Impact's load script APIs to write their advanced load scripts.
