The following will work for either scenario, if you want to step-up in increments of 500, or gradually ramp up to 500, run at 500 for a specified amount of time, then gradually add 500 and so-on.
- Use 10 thread groups, each with 500 threads, and set the startup delay equal, or greater than the ramp-up period of the previous thread. If you want to use one thread group (simpler and more elegant), the following may work: - Using beanshell read thread start times from a csv file, and set the start time of each thread. Use the read line from CSV function, not the CSV dataset config. This way, your ramp up, and start times are explicit, and data-driven. You could script the creation of the csv file with bash, perl, vbscript, whatever. Just out of curiousity, what hardware/OS are your 17 machines that you're driving this with?
