A Service is a representation of the underlying live service you are mocking in a Mock Service. Services can contain all Transactions uploaded for that live service, while the Mock Service might only require a subset of those Transactions needed for the current round of testing.

As BlazeMeter evolves, Services will increase in importance and usage. For now, consider them as a conceptual entity meant to help you organize Transactions by their place in your application architecture.
