Summary:

Applications typically allow for many ways to accomplish a task or many methods to navigate the application. While users think this is a good thing (at least most of the time), this complicates matters for testers, requiring that we look not only at what users do within an application but also at how they do it. To effectively predict performance in production, these variants of individual user patterns must be accounted for. This How-To discusses how to apply these individual user patterns to groups or communities of users.

Objectives:

* Learn how to identify individual usage scenarios
* Learn how to account for variances in individual usage scenarios
* Learn how to incorporate individual usage scenarios and their variances into user groups
* Learn how to script individual usage scenarios with their variances in VSTS
