The Status View provides detailed information about certain long-running operations, such as Replaying a testcase. When no operation is in progress, it shows the current memory usage.
In default mode, the memory status is displayed. The numbers displayed reflect the heap memory usage - which is the space the program has available for creating and manipulating data. It does not include the memory consumed by the application code.
The 
button in the corner
runs the garbage collector to recycle memory that is no longer being used.
Note that you are never required to push this button manually - the garbage
collector automatically runs when needed. But some people really like
pushing buttons, so we added one!
While recording, the Status View displays the current state of the recording:
number of pages recorded
number of URLs recorded
total open connections to the server
elapsed duration of the recording session
total bytes transferred (requests and responses, including HTTP headers)
number of network and HTTP errors encountered
sending status: active while a request is in progress
receiving status: active while a response is in progress
Shortly after a replay ends, the Status View will automatically return to displaying the memory status.
During a replay, the Status View displays the current state of the replay:
replay status (playing, paused, thinking, stopped)
time (total replay time or remaining think time)
number of pages completed
number of URLs completed
Shortly after a replay ends, the Status View will automatically return to displaying the memory status.
While repository files are opening, the Status View will display the progress of the operation:
number of files completed
bytes read from the current file
Shortly after the files have been read, the Status View will automatically return to displaying the memory status.
During a load test, the status view will show the progress of the current test stage. The following pictures show examples of the starting, testing and stopping stages.
The Status View will typically select the best mode for displaying information relevant to the current operation. The mode may be manually selected using the drop-down menu at the top of the view..
