3. You can add the Network Throttling feature in your test case by adding a new test step at the point where you wish to simulate the network conditions.

4. Click on Step Above.

5. Create a step with the NLP, Simulate network to upload_speed upload speed(kbps) download_speed download speed(kbps) latency_time latency(ms).

6. You have now added the network throttling feature to your test case. With network throttling, you can change your network profile to test the functionality of your test cases while exposed to different network environments.
