In my first post, the layout of my testplan was screwed up. This version will work better when displayed as HTML:
ThreadGroup 1 |____ HTTP Requests for the Publisher creating book (1) |____ HTTP Requests for the Chief Editor creating chapters (2) |____ ThreadGroup2 _______|____ HTTP Requests for the Editors to finish a chapter (3) |____ HTTP Requests for the Chief Editor validating chapters (4) |____ HTTP Requests for the Publisher validating the book (5) On 10/24/05, Jan Van Lysebeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I want to setup a "book creation" testplan that goes like this: > > Publisher logs in and creates one book and assigns a chief editor. > Chief editor logs in and creates 5 chapters and assigns an editor for each > chapter. > 5 concurrent working editors log in and finish each 1 chapter > Chief editor logs in and validates all 5 chapters. > Publisher logs in and validates the book. > > I want to use this testplan to simulate load. > To do this I want to configure the number of books that are created > concurrently. > In addition I want to set a total number of books to create, this will > determine the number of times to loops over the testplan. > > What I tried was this: > > ThreadGroup 1 > |_ HTTP Requests for the Publisher creating book (1) > |_ HTTP Requests for the Chief Editor creating chapters (2) > |_ ThreadGroup2 > |_ HTTP Requests for the Editors to finish a chapter (3) > |_ HTTP Requests for the Chief Editor validating chapters (4) > |_ HTTP Requests for the Publisher validating the book (5) > > With this setup I hoped to use the number of threads of ThreadGroup1 for > configuring the number of books written simultaneuos.
