[LoadUIWeb] Why does a continuous load test make the same request at slightly different times?
I have a load test with 200 virtual users. The load is continuous. All other settings are set to default. Once the test completes, I verify the Messages panel and sort it by Request #. Each Request # (1-62) displays 200 users (1-200).
Looking at the Time column, almost all users logged Request #1 at the same time 15:07:18.
However, users 128, 129, 130 logged Request #1 at 15:07:19.
Users 194, 195 logged Request #1 at 15:07:21.
If I specify a continuous load, why do 195 users make Request#1 at the same time and the remaining 5 users make the same request a few seconds later?
Using a smaller set of virtual users, let's say 20, I do not see the discrepancy, everybody makes the same request at the same time.
Thanks for your help,
Antje
