Not quite, the rule is as follows:
Duration (seconds)
IIf the scheduler checkbox is selected, one can choose a relative end
time. JMeter will use this to calculate the End Time, and ignore the
End Time value.
Startup delay (seconds)
If the scheduler checkbox is selected, one can choose a relative
startup delay. JMeter will use this to calculate the Start Time, and
ignore the Start Time value.
Please see the manual where this is described:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Thread_Group
According to the manual, you are right. But in practice, I am right.
The two are not mutually exclusive, and the manual does not fully
describe how the scheduler works. Admittedly, undocumented features can
change at anytime. I use this "bug" to do what the OP was asking
about. Set both start and end to some time in the past, and set the
duration to how long I'd like the test to run. Works like a charm.
