The TestStartingEventArgs type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	IsInitializeTest	Gets a value that indicates whether the test that is starting is the InitializeTest that was specified in the load test scenario's test mix.
	IsTerminateTest	Gets a value that indicates whether the test that is starting is the TerminateTest that was specified in the load test scenario's test mix.
	ScenarioName	Gets the scenario name that contains the test that is starting.
	TestContextProperties	Gets an IDictionary that contains data available to individual tests in a load test.
	TestIterationNumber	Gets a value that represents the number of tests that have run within the load test on a particular agent.
	TestName	Gets the name of the test that is starting.
	UserContext	Gets the LoadTestUserContext that represents the virtual user that is running the test that is starting.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

TestStartingEventArgs establishes an additional pathway for providing data to tests that are contained in a load test. An event handler for the TestStarting event can contain code to add data to the individual tests in the load test. The data is added to the WebTestContext in a Web test or the TestContext in a unit test.

Examples

The following code snippet gives a simple example of how to use the TestStartingEventArgs to add data to the starting test iteration in the load test. You write this code in a load test plug-in.

private void TestStarting(object source, TestStartingEventArgs testStartingEventArgs)
{
    testStartingEventArgs.TestContextProperties.Add("WebUser", GetNextWebUser());
}
private MyWebUser GetNextWebUser()
{
    /// Insert code here to read a user definition from some data source

    /// construct user object with data read from data source
    return new MyWebUser( ... );
}

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
