I had the same task and wrote Stepping Thread Group for this. It is awailable with latest nightly build + http://code.google.com/p/jmeter-plugins/ built from sources.

For example, I'd like to start test cases with 10 threads running for 1 min and than add (without stopping jmeter) another 10 threads (now 20 threads are running) and finally after 2 mins, I'd like to add another 20 threads and run the test case (now with 40 threads) for the next 3 mins (the idea is to add the load progressively). If scripting is required i can use groovy as I managed to run it with BSF sampler. Many Thanks, g. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
