The Debug Test feature lets you validate your test configuration by creating a logical copy of your test and running it at a low-scale. The test will run with 10 threads and for a maximum of 5 minutes or 100 iterations, whichever occurs first. Any test initiated by clicking the Debug Test button is considered as free and will not charge a credit or VUH (Variable Unit Hour) for the test run.
