If you want to monitor the number of actual sessions you can just put a servlet at the application level that looks at the number of active sessions. This number comes from my years of experience. No science, just a number I found that 'feels' right. That's why its 100-200. 100 for an app that is relatively easy for a user where they click around a lot and 200 for a more complicated one. It just depends. I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it to tell you the truth. Just look at the aggregate listener on a full functional test plan that loops forever and see where your app spends the most time, turn on profiling and optimize the code in those areas. Mike

Is there any way of determining real time what the current number of concurrent users is when a test is running?

Thanks, Georgia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 1:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CPU 100% I've distributed my load across multiple computers when running with a lot of users. BTW, I usually equate about 10 threads to about 100-200 actual concurrent users. The number of users the number of threads seems to represent is actually about 10-20X the thread number. This is because the threads are not throttled by default. If you put on 100 - 200 threads but throttle requests to like 10 seconds or so between them then it will serve the same purpose (just about) but take up a ton more resources and not be all that different than just 10 non-throttled threads.
