exponential backoff in Sequencer

Ricardo | Last updated: Jun 15, 2016 02:17PM UTC

When testing session tokens, usually the same request is sent over and over again to the server. Often this causes a considerable amount of load (as tests are usually made on test/quality/integration systems with lower hardware resources). The result is usually temporary availability issues. Most of the times, just pausing live capture for a few seconds, and them resume solves the problem. That being said, if an exponential backoff algorithm is implemented and fired when there is an error (request sent, but no token was captured) whould save the user from a lot of pause/resume kung foo.
