Microsoft Test

Microsoft Test is an application that lets you record a series of keystrokes and mouse movements into script files for later execution. These extended macros can then be used to manipulate any graphic user interface, including Performance Monitor.

Note

Some older copies of Microsoft Test are intended for 16-bit applications. Be sure to use the 32-bit version for Performance Monitor.

Among other tasks, you can use Microsoft Test to

• Start and stop Performance Monitor at preset times, or run it on certain days of the week and change the update interval as the day progresses.

• Start multiple copies of Performance Monitor, with different settings files for each.

• Merge, relog, and batch Performance Monitor logs for long-term planning.
