public interface Delay
extends AbstractUserAction

A representation of the model object 'Delay'. A Delay represents a timing delay as a RandomVariable between two user actions. The Delay is included into the usage model to express that users do not call system services in direct successions, but usually need some time to determine their next action. User delays are for example useful, if a performance analyst wants to determine the execution time for a complete scenario behaviour (instead of a single service), which needs to include user delays.

The following features are supported:

getTimeSpecification_Delay

PCMRandomVariable getTimeSpecification_Delay()
Returns the value of the 'Time Specification Delay' containment reference.

If the meaning of the 'Time Specification Delay' containment reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:
the value of the 'Time Specification Delay' containment reference.

setTimeSpecification_Delay

void setTimeSpecification_Delay(PCMRandomVariable value)
Sets the value of the 'Time Specification Delay' containment reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Time Specification Delay' containment reference.
