Start a Test

API Explorer: /tests/{testId}/start

To start a preconfigured load test, you need to know the testId of a created and configured test. The sample code executes a test with a testId of 1234567. Use the testId of the actual test to start in place of the 1234567.

You can create and configure the test through the UI or through the API.

NOTE: The first id returned in the response is a masterId. You can use this ID as a reference to this instance of a test launch. For example, send it using Stop a Test Run to stop this running instance.

If you do not know the ID of the test to start, use List Tests to return a list of your created tests.

You can also get the scenarioId and location id from this response, which can be used to narrow down your results by the scenario or location. This is covered, in detail, in the Test Results Advanced Settings section.
