There are some aspects of Web Performance Load Tester which may only be customized by creating or editing custom configuration files. For most users, these settings will not need to be altered manually, unless directed by Web Performance personnel, or required by another procedure outlined in the user manual.
Configuration files are generally stored in your Workspace directory. If a suitable file is not located, a default may be selected from the application's installation directory.
| Type | Default Location |
| Custom Configuration Files |
C:\Documents and settings\<username>\WebPerformance\.metadata\.plugins\com.webperformanceinc.util or C:\Users\<username>\WebPerformance\.metadata\.plugins\com.webperformanceinc.util |
| Default Configuration Files | C:\Program Files\Web Performance Load Tester <version>\plugins\com.webperformanceinc.util_<version>\config |
Please note that the directory "C:\Program Files\Web Performance Load Tester <version>" will be different if you selected to install the application at another location.
Tip: When customizing a configuration file manually, it may be useful to check the application's default config file directory. If a file is found with the same name, it can be copied into the custom configuration file directory before editing it. The edited file will take precedence over the default version, which may be safely maintained (un-edited) as a backup.
