Hi, I would expect you would require more than 1,000. If your requirements say that the app needs 1000 concurrent users, then you'd expect to have 1000 concurrent users at any given time out of a larger pool. The exact ratio, live/total users, depends on specifics (how long is a single user session, how many users do you expect to have at peak even if they're not active etc).
You should consider other details, such as how often should you recycle the users that are active. It doesn't need to be realistic, but the generated session pool should not surpass real life values (consider the time that sessions are kept on the server side, the more unique sessions you generate, the memory requirements increases). This affects how you configure the Cookie Manager (maybe you'd want to keep cookies instead of deleting them after each thread run) or your test script, maybe you should make fewer logins in your script to simulate real-life scenarios accurately. You have to decide that considering the specifics of the app under test. Adrian S On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 6:52 AM, Amit Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All: > > I have a query.
