Meaning of "scenariosAvoided" parameter in output

[metallicalfa2]

I have been using artillery for load testing an API server. In test results, the "scenariosAvoided" parameter is usually high. Could someone please point me to the documentation of the parameter?

hi @rathishubham7, "scenarios avoided" is the count of virtual users which would've been launched but were not because maxVusers is set.

If the value has grown between runs of the same script, it probably means that VUs are taking longer to complete their scenarios, which would usually be caused by higher response times from the server.

Thanks.
