EPIC HyperSpace Workflow for Login VSI Load Testing

This LoginVSI load testing script for Epic HyperSpace was created before LoginVSI released an update to their software which allow you to just launch the published application. The script launches Epic Hyper Space from within a Published Desktop session and can be easily modified to work when launching Epic HyperSpace as a Citrix Published Application.

If you ever want to verify Epic’s density numbers that they are providing for your hosts and virtual machine configurations I would recommend using LoginVSI. This is a basic test script, and for full validation I would sit down with a doctor or nurse and take notes on their daily workflow then translate that into a load testing script.

One issue I ran into during testing was Epic Max Logins per username- We initially ran into a limit on the amount of times a single Epic Username could login at the same time. This can be fixed, just have your Epic admin adjust the values.
