a) How can I make sure that Log In goes first? Because you have specified it first b) but what about percentages Use multiple throughput controllers. I dont think you need a Random order Controller if you use a throughput controller , though obivuosly then the order would be somewhat predictable.
ThreadGroup Once Only Login ThroughPutController (PerCent =10) Area 1 ThroughPutController (PerCent =50) Area 2 ThroughPutController (PerCent =15) Area 3 ThroughPutController (PerCent =25) Area 4 c) How do you come up with a "good" Ramp up number? I normally dont :). What are you trying to achieve with ramp up ? regards deepak On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 1:45 PM, Rodolfo Landa <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Deepak, > > The only reason I have 5 thread groups is that I use them to record their > work with the HTTP Proxy Server.
