Hello, I have to load test a website that has a number of visits per days and a visit duration.
What is the formula to compute the number of Virtual Users (Threads) that I need to put in my tests. I read that this number can be computed using 2 different informations: - Method1 => Peak visit rate (visits/hour) and Average visit length (minutes/visit), it would then be => visitRate/(60/visitLength) - Method 2 => Peak page rate (pages/hour), Testcase size (number of pages seen by User) and Testcase duration (in minutes),it would then be => (Peak page rate*testcaseDuration)/(60*testcaseSize) My question is with method 1, must my test Iteration last the "average visit length" using Timers and what more to make it last that length ? My question with method 2, are we talking about my Test Plan duration ? Which method is the best one ? Thank you Regards
