Thresholds
The Thresholds screen allows you to set the threshold values the tester uses to rate the quality of performance or service. The
quality categories are pass/warning/fail or green/yellow/red. You can adjust the range of values represented by green, yellow,
and red to your preference. For instance, you can eliminate the range of yellow altogether by increasing the ranges or values of
green and red.
