Hello I wonder if anyone could help me with a load test I’m trying to set up at the moment.
The test I’m writing has 3 HTTP calls which have to be made before a 4th HTTP call can be made (the 4th call is dependent on the previous 3 calls having been run and needs their responses in order to bring back a successful response.) So after looking online, I have put my calls under a ‘Critical section controller’ , which is working fine and the 4th call is now passing and getting a successful response. My issue is that as soon as I try to run this test with more than 1 thread group (user) , it is essentially behaving as a series of sequential calls, where calls 1-4 of the first thread group (user count) will run before the next calls 1-4 of the following user count will run. Obviously this is not very indicative of how things might go in production, as there might be say 2 or 3 users at any given time doing the actions at the same time, but where their individual subset of actions are being called in a critical order. Is there anything I can use on my test plan to fire off say 2 or 3 of the same thread groups at the same time, but within the thread group I have my critical section controller with the HTTP requests underneath it to ensure the calls are being made in a concurrent order? I saw there is something called ‘synchronizing timers’ but when I looked this up, it didn’t seem it could be used in conjunction with the ‘critical section controller’. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Lindi [cid:image96b92b.JPG@55f92081.4d820a22] Lindi SMITH Application Developer T | M lindi.sm...@aldautomotive.com<mailto:lindi.sm...@aldautomotive.com> www.aldautomotive.com Oakwood Drive, Emersons Green Bristol, BS16 7LB United Kingdom As a result of the measures announced by the Government we have implemented a remote working operating model.
