In the Grinder, I have given load test parameters as

grinder.threads = 30
grinder.process = 3
grinder.runs = 2
grinder.processIncrementInterval = 45000(ms)

which means I have 4 process with 30 threads each, each process starting at an interval of 45 seconds & repeating for 2 times.

I want to achieve the same thing in JMeter, but am unable to do it. If I set loop count = 2, threads = 30, ramp-up = 45 secs, the no. of threads gets multiplied by that count & threads increases.

I want 30 threads to first start (finish or not finish-does not matter) and after 45 seconds, next 30 threads to start & go on. There is no process concept in JMeter. So am not sure how to go about simulating the same situation.

Suppose you can try to use Stepping Thread Group or even better Ultimate Thread Group from jmeter-plugins set.

Looks like

30 threads to first start (finish or not finish-does not matter) and after 45 seconds, next 30 threads to start & go on

scenario can be completely set via Ultimate Thread Group.

  • I tried Ultimate Thread Group also, but in that you have to mention the Hold Load Time which is a specific duration, but in my case I want the threads to complete the entire test plan. Immaterial of the first set of threads performing or non-performing on the server, I want my next set of threads to start. – user2086306 Feb 19 '13 at 09:30
  • Since more load is applied, my threads can take more time to complete one iteration than the Hold Time I have given. So this might not solve my problem. – user2086306 Feb 19 '13 at 09:44
