Hi,
Sorry to jump into this thread, but I think that I've noticed that this problem is even happening when using property expansion in the Delay teststep per your documentation.
In my case, I'm trying to us the Variance loadtest strategy, and want to limit the number of requests within each 60 second interval, so I have:
Threads: 5
Variance: 0 (so constant 5 threads during interval)
Interval: 60 seconds
Limit: 120 seconds
My test case has:
- Groovy script step (sets up some properties)
- SOAP request step (sends request)
- Delay step (${=30000 + 30000*Math.random()})
It seems like even in this case, the Delay step is always taking only ~1000 msecs (= ~1 second), whereas I expected it to take 30-60 seconds, and I'm ending up with 200+ requests in the 120 second run, rather than something like 10-20 requests in 120 seconds.
Any feedback on this, or way to make this work yet?
Jim
