test execution time variable

It would be nice if there were a current test state variable like "%executionTime% that would indicate how long it took the test to run.

I've been asked to measure how long it takes to login to a Unix box. The only way I can find to do it is to write a VB or Active script that wraps a putty/plink login. this works, but it would be more robust if I could just use tune-up reply function to access the execution time of a SSH test and display that.

Anyway, just a thought. Obviously not something that most people want, or you probably would already have it.

Thanks,

I think we will implement this variable

We added %TestProbeTime% variable (can be used as parameter of some actions, for Optional status processing, reports...)

If you are using latest version of the software (10.30), you may download update at

This is incredible! I get better support from you than from my own company !!

I tried it out, and it seems to be working just expected. Can't verify that it works in every situation, but on the SSH test TuneUpReply function , it looks very good.

BTW, you didn't mention if the new variable was in milliseconds or what. But it appears to be milliseconds, so it's easy to convert to seconds, which is what I needed here.

Thanks,

You are right, time in milliseconds
