Overview

In this document, you will learn about how CodeArts PerfTest (CodeArtsPerfTest) is billed, how you can manage costs, and what happens if your account goes into arrears.

• Billing modes

  CodeArtsPerfTest provides the pay-per-use billing mode. Pay-per-use is a postpaid mode. You can start using the CodeArtsPerfTest pressure tests first and then pay as you go for the VUMs consumed in pressure tests. Therefore, you need to ensure that your account balance is sufficient. For details, see Overview.

  

  Virtual user minute (VUM) indicates the number of resources consumed by a task. The calculation formula is VUM = VU x M, in which VU indicates the number of concurrent virtual users and M indicates the pressure test duration, in minutes.

• Billing items

  CodeArtsPerfTest provides the pay-per-use billing mode. For details of the billing items, see Billing Items.

  In the pay-per-use billing mode, after enabling CodeArtsPerfTest, you can directly use CodeArtsPerfTest as long as your account is not in arrears. The system charges you based on the VUMs consumed by CodeArtsPerfTest pressure tests.
